About Jesse Williams

Jesse is a digital marketing expert, serial entrepreneur, and successful business owner with years of experience in starting and growing businesses on the web dating back to his early childhood years. Growing up in Alberta, Canada, Jesse was always fascinated by the business greats who came before him – people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. At just 15 years old, Jesse launched his very first business on the web. eDirect was a fully digital company that sold computer software on the web. In just one year, Jesse’s business earned more than $40 million in sales. In the days and weeks following his successful business endeavors with eDirect, Jesse looked to build on his success. In 2007, he reinvested the profits that he earned from eDirect into 22 multimillion dollar supplement brands that he founded during a four year period. In total, these brands achieved more than $500 million in sales. WuYi Tea was just one of the brands that Jesse founded during this time – and it was also one of the most successfully and popular of its time. As a tea brand, WuYi Tea was able to build up a massive following and a tremendous reputation as selling tasty, quality teas that people were willing to go out of their way to purchase. For instance, in just two years, the brand sold more than $100 million worth of tea between 2007 and 2009. The company became known as the #1 oolong tea retailer in the US. From there, Jesse founded Dazzle White, one of the most famous teeth whitening pen products available in the market. This company went on to generate $50 million in sales alone. By 2010, Jesse shifted into a new venture. He formed two brand new companies, each of which were more focused on the distribution of information, rather than a commodity. Penguin Leads was a company that provided public information to members through a paid service. This website went on to become quite successful, which pushed him to launch Car History Group in 2012. Car History Group was an aggregate of websites that provided interested car buyers and car owners with publicly available information related to their vehicle history. More than 3 million monthly visitors continue to use Car History Group to search the history of their automobiles. Since its founding, it has gone on to receive acclaim in a number of publications, including USNews, Newsweek, Fox, Detroit News, and Digital Trends.
