Jesse Blake Email & Phone Number

Jesse Blake possesses expertise in game development, 3d modeling, maya, uv mapping, xbox 360 and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Having worked beside Jesse for over a decade, I witnessed him build an effective outsource department while simultaneously delivering the day-to-day services that have become essential to our business. Jesse brings a wealth of knowledge in outsource management to the table. Informed by his early experience working at an outsource studio, he understands the needs and pressures of that perspective. As an outsource manager, he leverages this experience to build and maintain enduring relationships with external studios, cultivating long standing business partnerships that last for years. Jesse is a full spectrum outsource manager, driven by a passion for what he does. His experience, attention to detail, clear communication, and strong art background allow him to develop sustainable practices, and to build effective teams, both internally and externally. He made significant contributions at Zenimax Online Studios, and I have no doubt that he would do the same elsewhere." and "Jesse built and directed our outsourcing team over 12 years at ZeniMax Online Studios, including an internal staff and extensive vendor network, and managed the development of an enormous amount of 2d and 3d assets in that time. We originally planned on using external art vendors only as a kind of pressure release valve, so we could scale up/down depending on the internal team’s workload. As Jesse built relationships with vendors and trained teams, we began to rely on those teams as FT extensions of our staff, and a decade or so later these long-term vendor relationships have been key to our ability to support the relentless production requirements of a game as a service/MMO the size of Elder Scrolls Online. Jesse’s extensive experience developing business relationships, negotiating contracts, developing style/technical guidelines, providing feedback/art direction, and managing asset integration teams for ESO was a critical factor in our game’s success and the year-over-year growth of our business. Jesse is a trusted colleague, and I would most certainly work with him again."
