Jake Dearstyne

Jake is our Chief Revenue Officer and leads our overall business development, sales and client services/support team based in Charleston, SC. He has been with OPTIZMO for over 12 years and was the first person to join the team with our co-founders. Over the course of his career prior to OPTIZMO, Jake has experience in everything from service industry positions to technical recruiting and staffing to sales and on-site activation of interactive campaigns at sporting and music events for brands such as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Spirit Airlines.

He holds an Associate’s of Applied Sciences degree in Marketing, Management and Sales from Broome Community College, in Binghamton, NY, and a Bachelors in Marketing from Binghamton University.

An Upstate NY native/adopted Southerner, when he’s not at work you can find him in the gym, cooking, volunteering with various children’s organizations in the Lowcountry, or cheering on Clemson Tiger Football. They also have a Pitbull pup named Huey.

Fun Fact: During high school, Jake had his hair dyed 6 different colors. Unfortunately for us, no photographic evidence of this classic style choice exists today. Since joining OPITZMO, he’s only had one hair color, but we can always hope.
