Jamie Stoneberger, Talent Acquisition Partner, Cambium Learning

I had the pleasure of partnering with Jerry during his time as Sr. Director of Sales at Lexia Learning, and he stands out as one of the most strategic and visionary sales leaders I've worked with. From a talent acquisition perspective, Jerry was an ideal partner—clear in his goals, insightful about team dynamics, and laser-focused on hiring individuals who could both execute and grow with the business.

Jerry's leadership was instrumental in scaling a new K-8 Literacy and Professional Development division from the ground up. He grew the team from 18 to 75 members and drove revenue from $48M to over $150M in just over three years—an extraordinary achievement. His understanding of the sales cycle, forecasting accuracy, and deep knowledge of the education market made him both a trusted leader and a savvy business operator.

What impressed me most was Jerry’s ability to balance strategic vision with operational execution. He not only set ambitious goals but empowered his team to exceed them, fostering a culture of high performance, accountability, and collaboration. His talent for recognizing and developing top-tier sales talent played a pivotal role in Lexia’s explosive growth.

Any organization would be fortunate to have Jerry at the helm of their sales team. He’s a rare blend of leadership, sales expertise, and business acumen. His wit, kindness and caring makes Jerry the complete package.
