Sean Jarett

Director, Learning & Development

GROWTH ENCOURAGED

Helping careers thrive through knowledge and kindness

Though he only joined the team in February 2023, Sean Jarett already feels right at home. “There’s a collective sense of empathy and empowerment that encourages each individual to lead with kindness,” he said. As director of L&D, Jarett infuses those values into an environment that’s conducive for growth. Additional building blocks include fundamentals-focused webinars, Udemy courses, skill development programs and impactful one-on-ones. “The idea is to create high levels of trust so employees feel confident developing their own solutions and decisions with my perspective as a sense check.”

To directly see how your time, energy and effort are contributing to the organization’s success is a very motivating and engaging component of being at Spotnana.

Alexis Rochat

Product Manager

INNOVATION THAT TRAVELS

Developing products that go the distance

As product manager, Alexis Rochat feels like he’s traveling hundreds of miles per hour — no pun intended. “This isn’t a typical product organization,” he said. “No two days are the same, and although intense, they are incredibly rewarding.” In his role, Rochat strives to champion users and bring a consumer-grade product to the corporate travel space, from searching and booking to post-booking management. “Feedback is never in short supply, and balancing it is one of my greatest challenges,” he added. “We’re turning the trillion-dollar travel industry on its head — but therein lies the thrill!”

At Spotnana, you’ll be given an unmatched degree of autonomy, an opportunity to make your mark, and a chance to learn from a cohort of the warmest, most driven and talented people.

Jess Earle

Chief of Staff

LEADING WITH STRATEGY

Impactful employee support at every stage

Jess Earle may not be a pilot, but at Spotnana, she strategically helps guide the company’s growth. “We talk a lot about how we’re building the plane while we’re flying it, and doing this requires vigilant coordination,” she said. As chief of staff, Earle is all about facilitation and hyper-collaboration — which means leveraging her coworker's talents and ensuring they have the context, tools, support and structure to thrive. “I spend much of my time figuring out where people are blocked, brainstorming solutions, briefing leadership and then coming back down the chain with a path forward.”

I see candid, ongoing, two-way feedback as a sign of healthy working relationships. As much as possible, I try to establish and operate from a foundation of mutual trust, respect and support.
