How I Work
I’m a Denver, Colorado–based senior operational leader. I’ve built my career in software development and consulting agencies, working across finance, non-profit, automotive, distribution, and education—scaling teams, improving delivery, and coaching leaders into management roles.
Jesse is a natural team builder who creates systems that empower others and future-proof businesses. He’s especially skilled at leading remote teams and driving clarity in complex environments. Simply put, Jesse makes everyone around him better. - Denton Crofts, Managing Partner at DevIQ
I’m here to do the same for your team. I care deeply about growing businesses and developing leadership at every level. In my fractional COO, CIO, or leadership role, I bring both strategic perspective and hands-on execution—helping teams adopt new technologies, strengthen teams, and bring out the best in the people around them. You get experienced leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Who I Work With
I partner with founders and leadership teams navigating growth, operational complexity, or major change—especially when they want a hands-on leader to bring structure, execution, and clarity to how the business runs.
Why Valdivya?
I chose the name Valdivya as an homage to Valdivia, the Chilean city where my family is from. The region’s mix of resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit reflects how I approach my work: building organizations that are durable, adaptable, and designed for the long term.
