About Jess

Jess has led and coached recruiting teams and leaders at high-growth companies to success within the technology, financial services, and healthcare industries. Most recently she built and led the North American Go-To-Market (GTM) Recruiting team at Slack. Jess and her team drove a 9x growth of the GTM organization, which was a critical component in Slack’s successful direct public offering and ultimate acquisition by Salesforce, the second largest technology acquisition ever at the time. 

 

Her passion for best-in-class talent strategies inspired the launch of Jess Heller Leadership LLC. She focuses on developing leaders to their fullest potential, elevating individual and team performance, and holistic success for individuals, teams, and organizations. 

 

Jess is a Co-Active Certified Coach (CPCC) and is credentialed by the International Coaching Federation as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). Her style can be described as empathetic, authentic, direct, and humorous. Her clients include leaders and teams from Slack, Salesforce, Miro, as well as leaders from Series A to large public technology organizations.

On a personal note, Jess is a New Yorker who has lived in various cities in the US and abroad. She’s currently living in Los Angeles where she’s enjoying the food scene, hikes with her dog, weekend trips, and the weather!
