About

Jonathan is the first-ever Chief Marketing Officer of Rocket Companies. He believes in Rocket's mission of 'Helping Everyone Home' and aims to make it one of North America's most culturally significant brands by owning the narrative around homeownership, a fundamental building block of the American Dream.

Jonathan is a globally respected thought leader in marketing and advertising. He is skilled at transforming major organizations into iconic brands by defining their purpose and values, allowing them to redefine category conventions and earn a disproportionate share of growth.

Prior to Rocket, Jonathan led marketing at Coca-Cola and Airbnb during periods of intense growth. At Coca-Cola, the brand was recognized as Creative Marketer of the Year at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity in 2013. Two years later, Jonathan was named one of the world's most influential CMOs by Forbes.

Through his marketing and branding consultancy, TwentyFirstCenturyBrand, Jonathan has helped scale the impact of many influential companies, including Pinterest, LinkedIn, Uber, PepsiCo, Nextdoor, and Walmart.

In 2023, Jonathan and his team at TwentyFirstCenturyBrand published the book "A Colourful View From the Top," featuring the stories of 21 people of colour who have achieved success. The book was endorsed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who donated £10,000 through their charitable foundation to place it in every state secondary school in the UK.

Jonathan holds an Honorary Doctorate from Manchester Metropolitan University and serves on the boards of Fanatics and Sonos. He was also a trustee of the Prince of Wales' Arts and Business Trust while living in London. Jonathan splits his time between Los Angeles and Detroit with his husband and two children.

    I have boarded the most amazing rocket ship. One that is - literally - heading to the moon. I work for three of the world's most talented internet entrepreneurs. My job is to help create the world's first community driven super brand. My boss, Brian Chesky will not settle until we are recognized as one of the most creative organizations on the planet.
