Jon Teetsell is the Product Manager for the NextGen Meeting Experience at Ernst & Young (EY). It was the onset of global lockdowns from Covid-19 that got Jon thinking about how to make collaboration more equitable for remote workers, and drew him to see the potential of the Metaverse. Jon’s portfolio includes the Metaverse broadly, and more specifically XR, holography and immersive video. Jon also mentors underserved high schoolers through EY’s College MAP program, which helps them access college and persist through their college experience.
