Leadership Coach | Entrepreneur | Culture Architect | Founder of Pull the Chute**

For more than 30 years, Jeff Sesol has been building businesses, developing leaders, and transforming the way organizations think about people. He’s an entrepreneur who has founded and sold multiple companies—including FreeDrive, one of the earliest pioneers in cloud-based storage, and SonMedia, an online safety platform for families. But beneath the success, Jeff discovered something far more important than business strategy:

Companies don’t rise because of products.
They rise because of people.

And that belief has shaped his life’s work.

A Career Built on Real-World Lessons

Jeff’s entrepreneurial journey has been anything but linear—marked by big wins, tough losses, and the kind of humility that only comes from building companies in the real world. He’s experienced the thrill of winning and the crash of watching everything fall apart.

Those moments taught him what textbooks don’t:

• Leadership is human.

• Culture is non-negotiable.

• And clarity is the antidote to chaos.

Jeff brings this lived experience into every coaching session, keynote, and leadership program—helping leaders gain perspective, step out of reactive mode, and rise into intentional, confident leadership.

Pull the Chute: A Mission to Transform Leadership

Jeff’s latest venture, Pull the Chute, embodies his conviction that when leaders slow down long enough to gain clarity, everything changes.

Just like a skydiver pulling the chute at 120 mph, leaders must sometimes pause to see differently, think deliberately, and choose their next move with purpose.

“If you grow your people, you will grow your business.”
This is more than Jeff’s tagline—it’s his philosophy for how modern companies thrive.

Through Pull the Chute, Jeff coaches executives, business owners, and emerging leaders to:

• Build trust

• Develop emotional intelligence

• Strengthen communication

• Empower teams

• Transform their culture from within

He doesn’t give leaders more speed—he gives them control, clarity, and direction.

Jeff’s Personal Mission

Over the next decade, Jeff is committed to a simple but ambitious goal:
to change the world by changing the way we lead.

He believes deeply that people are an organization’s greatest asset. If we invest in developing them—really developing them—businesses grow, communities improve, and lives are changed.

Jeff’s purpose is to create leaders who create leaders, sparking ripple effects that extend far beyond the workplace.

Jeff’s WHY: Contribute

At Jeff’s core is a single word: Contribute.
He is driven by the desire to help others succeed, to support people through challenges, and to add value wherever he goes.

Clients often describe him as the “go-to” person—reliable, consistent, and genuinely invested in their success.

Jeff’s HOW: Make Sense

Jeff has an extraordinary ability to take complexity—chaos, confusion, data, decisions—and make sense of it quickly and clearly.

Where others see overwhelm, Jeff sees patterns.
Where others get stuck, Jeff finds movement.

This gift makes him a trusted advisor to leaders navigating their toughest moments.

Jeff’s WHAT: Trust

Everything Jeff does is built on one foundational principle: Trust.

He delivers what he promises.
He shows up—consistently, authentically, and with purpose.
He believes that when relationships are grounded in trust, there are no limits to what people and companies can achieve.

Trust isn’t just part of his brand.
It is the brand.
