I had the pleasure of working with Jonas during his time as Director of Project Management at Mezzetta, and I can confidently say he brings a rare and valuable combination of strategic structure and creative flexibility. He provided not just clarity and direction to complex projects, but also a thoughtful approach that made everyone feel heard and valued.

Jonas has a real gift for creating space for creativity while still keeping projects on track—no small feat when managing innovation work. He guided conversations, aligned us around shared goals, and moved things forward, all without losing the collaborative, fun spirit that makes great work possible. He also has the ability to simplify complex processes and gather input in a way that feels both authentic and inclusive.

Beyond his professional strengths, Jonas is simply a fantastic person to work with—steady, supportive, and genuinely kind. He made every project better, not just through what he contributed, but through how he showed up for the team.

Jonas is one of those rare leaders who brings both strategic clarity and operational discipline to every challenge. With a background in engineering, he has a deep understanding of manufacturing processes and the real-world pitfalls that can derail great ideas. His process orientation and hands-on experience set him apart from other PMO leaders who tend to armchair-captain from their Smartsheets. Jonas doesn’t just advise—he rolls up his sleeves, aligns teams, and gets things moving. Any organization lucky enough to work with Milestone will gain a true partner in execution.

As VP of Strategy and PMO at Mezzetta, I had the pleasure of working closely with Jonas during his tenure as Director of PMO. What truly stood out about his leadership was his disciplined, process-focused approach to project management, which significantly elevated both the PMO and Innovation teams. He was instrumental in aligning our project execution practices with PMI standards, resulting in greater consistency, visibility, and control across our projects.

Jonas made impactful contributions by standardizing PMO and Innovation processes organization-wide, successfully launching new products like Fresno Peppers and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Olives, and re-launching Calabrian Pepper Sauce. Additionally, he led a cross-functional logistics project that delivered significant savings and modernized our project management tools through a strategic Smartsheet renovation, improving usability and adoption.

I would confidently recommend Jonas and Milestone PMO to any organization seeking to strengthen its project management capabilities or drive critical initiatives forward.
