Midwest Homecoming: Jess Brown

MORTON – Jess Brown was on the fast track in California’s digital workplace but instead of staying in California and relocating to Silicon Valley, he and his family moved back to Greater Peoria.

As Vice President of Design for Aspiration, a financial tech (fintech) company based in Los Angeles that helps users improve their bottom line (while making a positive impact on the world), Brown can be found working out of his home or coffee shop in Morton or at The Nest in Peoria; heading up a 10-person team that works remotely from different parts of the country.
