CEO of consulting firm
“Jalen has an executive presence beyond his experience level and his work ethic, talent, and infectious desire to improve will make him an asset to any team he joins.”
Supervisor, Principal Data Scientist
“Jalen was able to provide innovative solutions to some very difficult problems and earn the trust of our other senior staff. Some of that came from his "hard" skills… Equally important however, were his "soft" skills: poise and ability to explain his work in easy-to-understand terms.”
VP of Product
“Jalen is one of those people everyone enjoys working with… diplomatic, approachable, and easy to collaborate with. Senior leaders speak very highly of him, and his wide range of knowledge and skills makes him a go-to for solving all kinds of challenges.”
