Jesper Schultz is a serial tech entrepreneur and executive who melds the experience of starting and growing companies with the drive to facilitate team collaboration through the development of software products.

With more than 20 years of experience hiring and leading world-class teams, Jesper understands how, when, and where great work happens. In partnership with his co-founder Hans Larsen, Jesper created BasicOps to transform productivity and collaboration. With a Scandinavian sensibility for design and user experience, he developed this intuitive, easy-to-use internet-based platform to address real pain points for growing companies and collaborative teams that he had experienced first-hand as a founder.

Prior to BasicOps, Jesper and Hans founded the world’s leading recruitment platform, Jobvite. Called the “Facebook of talent acquisition”, Jobvite grew quickly and an early version of BasicOps was inspired by their own need to manage the increasingly complex projects and tasks associated with scaling a company. During their time at Jobvite, they observed that nothing existed that met their needs to work collaboratively, create detailed, actionable project plans and track progress toward major milestones. They created it for themselves and knew that BasicOps was an essential solution for other companies in need of a single destination to replace endless emails, apps, and spreadsheets.

Before his entrepreneurial journey, Jesper spent several years leading engineering teams as CTO and co-founder of Voice Media Lab, specializing in voice control of entertainment systems. He was also Vice President of Engineering at Mediabolic and held engineering and management roles at Borland International.
