Meet our people.
If you're an Emma customer, it's very likely you've gotten to know one or more of the people pictured here. Perhaps you've met several of them. Perhaps you know one person quite well but have only spoken briefly with two others. Here's your chance to put a face with a name, or two names with two faces, and so on and so forth.
Jonathan Gesinger
If you're curious about kolaches, you've come to the right bio. This delicious Czechoslovakian pastry features a small bread roll inside which one may find a range of fillings, from traditional fruit to savory meats and cheeses. But if you're curious about kolaches inasmuch as they pertain to this bio you're still reading for some reason, we'll break it down: kolaches are tasty, Jonathan loves kolaches, and it's really fun to talk about kolaches. So then, let's continue with some non-kolache-related things you should know about Jonathan. He heads up our business development efforts in Austin, our newest satellite office, which is located a short drive from West, Texas, famous for its kolache-themed rest stop Czech Stop. Also, he founded Twin Engine Creative, a brand and marketing agency where he served for seven years as founder, managing partner and that dude who keeps talking about kolaches. Before that, he helped lead marketing efforts for the Seattle Mariners, where he introduced Ken Griffey, Jr. to a little-known but much loved international pastry. And that pastry was, of course, the croissant.
