Who are we?
WE ARE INNOVATORS.
At Jessup, invention is a mindset. It’s how good becomes great; how great becomes the greatest. It’s a level of ideation that drives the imagination that leads to the innovation that becomes the invention that disrupts a market and rocks the world.
WE ARE CONNECTED.
We are diverse. Different disciplines. Different backgrounds. Different ways of thinking. Our strength as an organization is our ability to use our differences to create connection and to drive experiences that are relevant and important. It is the foundation of this connection that allows us to serve you.
WE ARE DRIVEN.
At the heart of every strong organization lies its core values, the operating principles and guide rails that permeate every area of the business. We believe that our values – flexibility, accountability, partnering, teamwork, decisiveness, and process know-how – are core not only to our success, but, and more importantly, help us drive your success.
WE ARE SERVICE.
One of our favorite quotes at Jessup comes from Winston Churchill who rose to historical fame as the Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II: “You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.” To us, it’s more than a quote…it’s how we work, live and play. Through outreach and internal support programs, Jessup team members are generous in giving back and paying it forward to our customers, our communities, and to each other.
