" When Jonah joined the team to lead Product Design, it was an absolute game changer. He approached his role thoughtfully, creatively, and with the customer top of mind. His energy was put towards developing a seamless customer experience by working towards a cohesive vision for the product. He also took time out of his schedule to educate other teams on our product design methodology, further enhancing the team's ability to deliver quality services to our customers.

" Jonah's thoughtful & product focused. He's easy to work with and knows how to run point on design. He identifies problems and acts on them. He laid the groundwork for a design system that helped us get away from constantly making visual tweaks and enabled us to focus on the user experience. He's very good at keeping decisions objective and has the business's best interests at heart. I've personally learned a lot from Jonah. "CTO (Co-founder)Draftbit

" As a manager Jonah is kind, understanding and supportive. He is a selfless leader who is able to recognize the value in others and helps champion their successes above his own career pursuits. Working alongside Jonah I always felt like he had my best interests at heart and cared about me as a person first and foremost. He was supportive when it came to setting career goals and was always willing to do everything he could to inspire and create opportunities for me to find success. "Senior Product DesignerCards Against Humanity

" Beyond being my manager, Jonah's work fundamentally shaped the design ethos at Home Chef. His vision and skills are deeply respected. He thinks deeply about how to challenge and empower his direct reports. He pushes himself to learn more about the field of design to keep sharp. Most importantly, he nimbly navigates the tension between business and usability, making decisions that struck the elusive balance between achieving business needs while still managing to keep the customer close to the heart. I would recommend Jonah as a leader and mentor for any design organization. "Product ManagerHome Chef

He said this presentation built our company's credibility because we were open about the areas where we've proactively identified improvement, spoke to why this particular initiative is important, and gave specific actions we're taking to improve. Jonah's efforts are not going unnoticed by our customers and I'm personally grateful he's making our customer's experience better. "Customer Success ManagerLogicGate

" I had the privilege of working under Jonah's leadership as a member of the Home Chef design team. Jonah consistently demonstrated long-term brand and product vision - advocating for good design within our team and carving out an invaluable role for design within the company at large. He dedicated himself each day to cross-functional collaboration - working with our tech, marketing, ops, support, and exec teams to maintain communication channels and initiate innovative new ideas. Jonah's leadership style can best be described as proactive, approachable, and trustworthy. "Marketing DesignerHome Chef
