Jim Salzetti
General Manager of Retail
La Jolla Group
"I have had the privilege of working with Jeremy Hale across five brands over nearly a decade - from the Billabong Group, to Mountain Khakis and the La Jolla Group portfolio, including O'Neill, Sol Angeles, Voyager, and Hang Ten. Jeremy is an exceptionally forward-thinking executive with a rare ability to connect business strategy to customer outcomes. He is genuinely customer-first - not as rhetoric, but as an operating discipline that shapes every strategic decision. He works with remarkable fluency across sales, marketing, product, finance, and operations, bringing a holistic perspective that most leaders do not possess. Beyond his strategic capability, Jeremy is the kind of leader people naturally follow. He communicates with clarity, articulates vision in a way that aligns teams, and leads with empathy, trust, and fairness. He consistently delivers highly impactful outcomes. I recommend Jeremy without reservation. Any organization that engages him will be gaining a powerful force for progress and productive outcomes."

"Jeremy is more than a mentor to me, he genuinely changed the trajectory of my career. His passion and leadership pushed me to think bigger, move faster, and aim higher than I would have on my own. He created a space where no idea was a bad idea. He encouraged creative thinking, pushing boundaries, and questioning the status quo, all while keeping us grounded with a clear, methodical plan. It was a fast-paced environment, but there was always intention behind the action. Jeremy has an entrepreneurial spirit. He believes in working hard, playing hard, and building things that matter. From concept to consumer, he knows how to create long-term value and take people on a journey that builds real brand equity. What I appreciated the most was the culture he created. He celebrates wins - big and small - and invests in relationships, both personally and professionally. I always felt supported, challenged, and motivated to be part of something bigger. I'm grateful for the impact he's had on my growth and the example he set for how to lead with passion, vision, and integrity."
