About Jake Grinstead

I’m an artist at heart, and I bring that creative mindset and passion into every aspect of communications. I believe great communication is a lot like great art: it isn’t just meant to be admired — it’s meant to inspire. I create communications that are imaginative, engaging, and intentionally designed to drive meaningful change.At Nestlé, I’ve applied this approach in two distinct but complementary ways: leading end-to-end internal communications within individual divisions and functions, and driving enterprise-wide, cross-functional transformation communications. I’ve owned communications for Nestlé Nutrition, Nestlé Professional, Digital & eCommerce, and IT; supported Sales, Finance, and Procurement; and led eCommerce, Finance, and Sales transformation communications that connected multiple divisions and functions—helping teams align, adopt change, and move forward together.
