“Jared and I sat across from each other at Juma for 2 years. We worked together frequently, and I was lucky enough to have him as an informal mentor. A clear and deliberate communicator, his encouraging focus on developing my skills made me want to be a better leader. He was a true coach. With humor and endless enthusiasm, Jared connected with people at all levels, and he could break down complex problems for any audience and make them excited to join him. Jared always saw several steps ahead for Juma's systems and its people. Amid shifting challenges, he marshalled resources to make sure we had the infrastructure and plans we needed to scale nationally. He also inspired me and many others to scale our own abilities and ambitions. Through the people and systems he built up, Jared's impact was felt across Juma and beyond.”
