He then joined Jay Walker as Chief Operating Officer at Walker Digital where he co-created and became founding Chief Operating Officer of Priceline.

In 2006, Jesse co-founded MissionPoint Capital Partners, a private investment firm focused on financing the transition to a low-carbon economy. Subsequently, Jesse co-founded MissionPoint Partners in 2014 to guide other families and foundations in their pursuit of Impact. MissionPoint Partners incubated ReFED, a non-profit focused on accelerating solutions to food waste, where Jesse served as founder and inaugural board chair. With a goal to democratize Impact, MissionPoint Partners co-founded CapShift, a mission-driven platform to enable the trillion dollars of U.S. charitable assets to access a broad array of impact investment opportunities. Jesse contributed his writing to Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril and has been featured as a guest speaker on the Journey to Impact Podcast.
