Meet Jess
Hi, I’m Jess - founder of The Full Cup Co.
I have 20+ years marketing & business leadership across Fortune 500, technology, lifestyle and financial brands such as Porsche, Michelob ULTRA, Olay, Jim Beam Brands, Miller Brewing Company, Visa, TheRealReal and more.
In 2022, I was laid off in a mass reduction right before Christmas, from the same company that I had helped reach unicorn status that same year.
I knew if leading a company to a billion dollar valuation couldn’t save me in this job climate, nothing could. I decided to choose myself and never looked back.
In 2024, I returned to school to pursue a Masters in Psychology @ Pepperdine University, developing my commitment to human-centered leadership & success.
In 2025, I launched The Full Cup Co. to fulfill a long-held mission: to make work (and living) happier, healthier, and more purpose-driven.
It’s my dream to help others step into theirs.
