Hi. I’m Jesse Ashlock.

I’m an editor, journalist, and brand leader with more than 25 years of experience creating original, engaging lifestyle and culture content across platforms for media companies big and small. I’m deeply passionate about telling authentic, valuable stories that enrich people’s lives, and about managing teams and nurturing careers in service of that goal.

I most recently spent six years as the Deputy Global Editorial Director and Head of Editorial Content, U.S. at Condé Nast Traveler. I have held leadership positions at Travel + Leisure, The New York Times’ T Magazine, Details, and the Tribeca Film Festival, among others. I have appeared frequently in the media, including as a regular guest on CBS Mornings and Today, and have hosted a wide array of travel videos. I have also served as an adjunct instructor and board member in the publishing program at NYU’s School for Professional Studies.

Here is some of my editing work. Here is some of my published writing. Here is some of my video work. Here are some of my media appearances.
