Hi, I’m Jake. I'm a writer and researcher at Harvard Business School, where I co-author case studies with Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter on how cities, startups, and global companies were driving innovation in climate tech and sustainability. Our latest project, “Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena – Ticket to a Greener Future”, explores the world’s first net-zero carbon sports and entertainment venue.
I moved to New York City and led go-to-market from seed for Logical Intelligence, a venture-backed startup applying formal reasoning AI to mathematical proving theorems unlocking a completely new level of secure code for blockchain, semiconductors, finance, and aerospace.
I earned my B.A. in International Studies from the University of Michigan, where I co-founded the Michigan Hockey League, Ann Arbor’s largest student-run sports program.
Outside of work, I play ice hockey and post film reviews on Letterboxd. I’m currently exploring my next role and can start immediately. Born and raised in Buffalo, New York—so to close on the right note: Go Bills.
