Peerscon - Insight with Jesse

13 Mar 2026

In this moment: Gary Hawkes Jesse Berkeley
Loved having a chat with Jesse. We talked about our work and he gave me a very powerful story about his role and the work he did to be present in understanding the product and how its used, rather just sit back working remotely. One quote of his was "Providing the Customer a workaround is not the Gold Standard". There's an article, Talk or blog in that Jesse! 😁

He/Him

Head of Engineering who came from QE. Admirer of all humans (with a special affinity for testers). I love to bring out the best in people and help them grow. I have a very tactical view of delivery and love working to find the sweet spot so that processes are a balance between effort and value. Music nut.
