About Jessica S. Hall

Product, Growth & Design Leader • AI Strategist • Speaker and Coach

I’m a product and growth leader who helps B2B tech companies scale smarter, deliver AI-powered products, and build platforms that grow. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led product strategy, design, and go-to-market alignment across high-growth startups and large enterprise organizations.

I specialize in:

AI strategy for product teams
Driving platform growth
Aligning cross-functional teams around customer value
Fixing scaling sludge (when everything feels stuck but you’re supposed to be growing)

I’ve built and scaled AI-enabled platforms, led a redesign of an $800M+ product portfolio, and launched new products that unlocked $100M+ in projected revenue. I’m also the co-author of The Product Mindset and a TEDx speaker on product leadership.
