Familiar Faces, Fresh Approach: New Leadership at Bust Out

Jeff Lin founded Bust Out in 2004 while on a work sabbatical, house-sitting for a friend in Hawaii. Never did he imagine that 20 years later, it would grow to become a digital creative and technology powerhouse creating brilliant solutions for brands and clients all over the nation.

After shepherding the organization for nearly two decades, Jeff is excited to announce a new era of leadership within Bust Out, as Chief Strategy Officer Kesah Schmitt, Chief Operating Officer & Director of Engineering Jamie Huggett and Chief Creative Officer Jamey Erickson take the reins as a three part leadership team while Jeff transitions his full attention to operating Pennant, the startup he founded in 2021.

Jeff Lin is confident about this move and stated, “it felt like it was time for Bust Out to become more than it could be with me running it by myself. I have an immense amount of trust in Kesah, Jamie, and Jamey, and I truly believe they are equipped to take Bust Out to new heights.”

In reference to the evolution, Kesah shared that “having worked together for many years, the three of us have a very organic and strong working relationship. We're excited to keep the momentum from Jeff's many years of leadership and evolve the business in new and exciting ways.”

Kesah, Jamie and Jamey are excited to deepen their relationship with existing clients and establish new connections. If you want to connect with any of them on a potential project, or just catch up and chat, you’re more than welcome to hit us up.
