Hi, I’m Jonah, a Cornell Hotel School grad with a minor in computer science. As Founder and CEO of Spekld, I created the first-ever stick of brown butter, securing funding from pitch competitions, competing in a national dairy innovation competition, and winning Cornell’s largest business plan competition. At Rilla, a high-growth, fast-paced AI sales startup, I managed field marketing and operations, giving keynote AI speeches for crowds of 50-500. I also worked as a Software Engineering Intern at WillowTree, a digital product consultancy. Additionally, I led design efforts, including developing my personal website. I’m passionate about blending creativity, tech, and customer-focused solutions. Looking forward to connecting!
