JESSI WEST is COO and Co-Founder at WestComms and for her, the most exciting part of PR is creatively hacking the power of storytelling and building relationships with journalists. Prior to WestComms, she honed her communication and storytelling skills working directly with executives and creative leaders at SYPartners. Jessi is from Palm Springs, California and graduated with a degree in communications from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC.
A life-long startup junkie and entrepreneur, MIKE WEST started WestComms after an extended stint at one of the world’s largest PR firms. Before that, he started a hydroponics company, an education-focused non-profit and was a professional options trader. Throughout each experience there was a common thread — a good story is what it took to sell the hydroponics company, a good story is what it took to get Hollywood’s Nightclub scene to fuel projects for LA schools and a good (or bad) story is what it takes to move markets. Now, hacking the media to achieve real-world outcomes is Mike’s passion!
