Jesse Linevsky is the Head of Innovation and Strategy at The Guestbook, the world's leading hotel cash-back rewards program for travelers that turns hotel stays into cash. In his role, Jesse is responsible for driving innovative strategies, enhancing brand positioning, and optimizing user acquisition and revenue streams for The Guestbook and its new browser Extension.

Jesse discovered his passion for technology and hospitality during his undergraduate studies at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration. Recognizing a lack of innovation in the industry, he was drawn to The Guestbook's mission of revolutionizing hotel stays through innovative loyalty programs.

Prior to joining The Guestbook, he gained valuable hotel management and operations experience at Selina, a national hotel and hostel company, where he contributed to strategic partnerships and operational efficiencies for the U.S. region. Before Selina, Jesse served as an Investment and Asset Management Analyst at Clearview Hotel Capital, managing a portfolio of 12 hotels. He also has extensive experience in business operations and analytics from his time at Walmart, where he managed operations across 5,000 stores and handled $45 million in inventory.

Jesse holds a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality from Cornell University. During his time at Cornell, he founded the Horological Investment Club, which became the largest collegiate horological club in the United States.

Outside of his work, Jesse loves music, travel, and outdoor activities. He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA.
