Jess Hurwitz

Board Director with 35+ years of experience driving transformation across Maritime, SaaS, Fintech, and global technology markets. I am known for scaling startups, accelerating growth, and aligning strategy with execution — with a proven record of innovation, leadership, and global market expansion.

Throughout my career, I’ve stepped into pivotal leadership roles during moments of inflection, often helping companies reset strategy, reimagine operations, or accelerate commercial momentum. My approach blends vision with pragmatism: building frameworks for sustainable growth while ensuring technology, people, and processes move in harmony.

I have had the privilege of working globally across diverse industries — from maritime and shipping to Fintech, SaaS, digital assets, and emerging technologies. This breadth has given me a unique perspective on transformation at scale, enabling me to identify patterns, anticipate challenges, and uncover opportunities others may overlook.

As a board director and strategic advisor, I guide organizations on governance, growth strategies, partnerships, and operational resilience. As a C-Suite executive, I thrive in both startup and enterprise environments — leading cross-functional teams, expanding into new markets, and driving measurable results.

While I am committed to pioneering technology, innovative solutions, and robust business strategies, my top priority remains building trust and strong relationships with clients — understanding their definition of success and delivering high-value solutions that exceed expectations.

I am passionate about unlocking potential — in businesses, technologies, and people — and remain focused on building organizations that not only grow but endure.

I remain open to discussing opportunities where I can bring this blend of leadership and versatility to new challenges. These include C-Suite executive roles, strategic investment or portfolio leadership within PE/VC, and entrepreneurial ventures such as co-founder, interim executive, or long-term project leadership.
