Peer Feedback
Amy Bosley, Head of Brand & Creative
“Jon is an absolute powerhouse in the HubSpot and MarOps space, but what truly sets him apart is his genuine kindness, a quality that is invaluable in today’s corporate world. He leads with heart, something I find super inspiring.”

Current Role: RELEX Solutions
Head of Marketing Operations

I lead an AI-first marketing operations function - training >80 people in AI tools and workflows, shipping production-grade applications, and growing a specialist team from one to five.ReLoad, a tool I built using Cursor and Azure, cut a two-week post-event data process down to seven minutes and is actively used by sales and marketing teams today.What I'm most proud of isn't the tools though - it's the culture. My team's annual staff survey came in significantly above benchmark for both Team Autonomy and Management Support, and that matters more to me than most metrics.

Volunteering

In 2023 I co-founded Community Kitchen Glos, serving as a trustee in its first year and volunteering as head chef.What began as a simple idea - good food, no fuss, for people who needed it - grew into something that became a genuine part of the local community.Using my platform at @DinnerWithJon, I raised thousands of pounds from my online supporters to help get it off the ground, turning a following built around a love of food into something with real-world impact.The trustee role taught me a different kind of leadership - fundraising, governance, and showing up every week with a ladle rather than a laptop.It's the project I'm most proud of that has nothing to do with a screen.

Dinner With Jon

What started as a love of cooking for other people has grown into a food community of over half a million followers across social media, centred around comfort food that actually gets made.Being selected for the BBC Creator Lab was a highlight - as was publishing Cravings & Comforts in 2025, a cookbook that captures the kind of food I've always believed in: unfussy, generous, and built for real people.Brand partnerships with HelloFresh and Sainsbury's, personalised videos through Cameo, and a soup kitchen I founded in Gloucestershire all come from the same place - a genuine belief that food is one of the best ways to bring people together.
