Jack joined the Geekly Media family in May of 2018, and the place hasn’t been the same since. Jack’s job is to make everyone feel welcome, to cheer them up when they could use a boost, and to remind us to get up from our desks and go outside every now and then. He has a great attitude and loves his job.

“We couldn’t be happier with the work Jack does at Geekly Media. Ever since he came onboard, Jack has transformed the work environment. The place wouldn’t be the same without him.” - Michael and Heather Park

Meet Justine Poffel, the SVP dynamo behind Geekly Media! When asked what she does at Geekly Media? "Whatever it takes, baby, whatever it takes!" From running her boxing club to directing at a telecommunications company, she's had quite the career trajectory. Now, she's channeling that same start-up energy at Geekly Media because small companies are where the real fun's at!

When she's not crushing goals at work, you can find her burning calories on her Peloton, diving nose-first into a good ol' printed book, or getting lost in the world of trashy reality TV. Outside? She loves walking her rescued fur baby Zoey and her fluffy bichon-pom mix Oliver, and perhaps indulging in some retail therapy.

Food choices? Think brussel sprouts and pizza! (By the way, she's campaigning to make chocolate and sparkling rosé official food groups. Who's with her?)

Her favorite places on earth? Anywhere her husband is... plus Italy, Paris, London, New York. Yeah, she's got a flair for the iconic!

Jessie Gillan serves as our Solutions Architect, which is our Geekly way of saying she strategizes better ways to utilize Hubspot for continued growth for our company and clients. Before she found her way to (what we feel is) the best marketing agency in the world, she worked at Stark Carpet as their CRM Manager and Sales Analyst. She also served for almost 14 years as the head of marketing, data, and eCommerce for a modern and contemporary art auction house.

As a Geek, she likes the creative spirit of "figuring it out" and the strong lady leadership in the company. In her spare time, Jessie likes to read, make art, learn to juggle, and lay in her hammock (perhaps all at the same time). You might also find her in one of her favorite places, either Portland, Maine, or near any lake, enjoying tempeh and mashed potatoes with her 5-year-old son (Louis) and two cats (Sylvia, 17, and Clementine, 2).

Rashid Rehman is a master of web design and development who recently relocated to Toronto. He has been crafting stunning graphics for over 10 years and joined the Geekly team in 2017. Rashid loves working at Geekly because it challenges him to grow and learn new skills every day. He feels at home at Geekly, where he has supportive colleagues and a long-term vision. Rashid’s expertise in creating websites, templates, and other digital products helps Geekly’s clients achieve their goals. In his spare time, Rashid enjoys gaming, watching movies and shows, traveling, reading, and working out. His favorite destination so far is Thailand, where he had an unforgettable experience.

Emily Gessel is an integral part of our team as an Account Manager, claiming to be 110% a Geek (we agree). Before joining Geekly Media, she was nerdish in the FinTech space and worked across several fashion brands to grow their digital footprints.

She loves that Geekly Media is a group of hard-working, dedicated, tenacious digital experts that raise each other up. It's an incredible team that works closely together to ensure we deliver nothing but polished work that we are proud to stand behind.

Emily is a Gym Geek and enjoys getting a good sweat in at Hot Yoga. She also enjoys keeping up with her garden, the outdoors, and feeding the bunnies in her backyard during dusk. Her family is super important to her, and her Dad will always be her best friend and hero.

When asked about her favorite place on earth, she gurgled something about being a fish in a previous life, as the place she enjoys most is the beach and the idea of eating sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Paulina Gutierrez is a content writer for Geekly Media with a heavy focus on making marketing talk intelligible for those who don’t speak marketing. Before becoming a Geek, Paulina taught English for eight years, teaching all ages from toddlers to adults. She also taught ballet and yoga — not at the same time, of course.

She said she loves working at Geekly Media. “Despite working remotely, I feel comfortable talking to the Geeks as if we’d known each other for longer. The conversations are filled with empathy, and collaboration happens seamlessly. I feel challenged by my job, but it motivates me to think that it will help people learn and become more successful,” Paulina said.

In her free time, Paulina tries to twist herself into a pretzel every morning with her yoga practice. “I love a good stretch in the morning and teaching whenever I can.” She also plays guitar and sings but doesn’t consider herself a “professional” musician.

Paulina’s favorite place on earth is the beach, and she goes as often as possible. But she also loves visiting the cultural areas of Mexico, called Huasteca — a mountainous tropical forest area filled with gorgeous waterfalls. “I could live there forever,” Paulina said. “Listening to the birds, drinking coffee on a terrace in the middle of the mountains.” (Don’t stay gone too long, Paulina. We need you!).

Her favorite food is Indian, specifically samosas (No, Michael Scott, not Smores). Paulina lives in Guadalajara, Mexico, with her husband and a three-year-old girl. She said being a parent is fun and crazy (sometimes even at the same time). Her dog, Nestor, completes her family and is an expert cuddler.
