Jacob Styburski

I am a Certified Executive Coach, nationally recognized BBQ Pitmaster, and seasoned design leader with nearly 20 years of experience in multi-channel experience design and innovation. Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles in organizations across the spectrum, including JPMorgan Chase, frog design, Meta, Grubhub, PayPal, and American Express.

My professional journey began with a deep passion for harmonizing disparate perspectives, turning institutional skeptics into advocates, and demonstrating the power of design at scale. My leadership roles have consistently involved building and leading high-performing design teams, developing innovative strategies, and creating cohesive, elegant user experiences that have profound impacts on the business. From working with Disney on the design and launch of the Magic Band, to a global redesign of PayPal’s consumer design language, to groundbreaking use of data models at Grubhub - driving consumer, business, and personal impact for every team member has been critically important to me.

Certified by both Columbia Business School and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, I specialize in helping senior design & tech leaders achieve holistic personal and professional transformation. My coaching approach integrates rigorous, data-driven techniques with progressive tools like psychedelic coaching, fostering profound personal insights and sustainable change.

In addition to my corporate experience, I co-founded and served as pitmaster of Revenge BBQ, a critically acclaimed Texas-style BBQ restaurant in Irvington, NY. This unique blend of design leadership and entrepreneurial spirit underscores what I bring to coaching, where I leverage diverse experiences to help leaders go where their passion leads.
