Trisha Degg

Trisha is the V.P. of Talent Platform at Jump, based in its Chicago office. She describes herself as a Capital P “People Person” and a talent matchmaker. Having spent the majority of her career in tech, she’s uniquely positioned to help Jump’s portfolio companies establish H.R. and talent strategies for sustained growth and success.

Before becoming Jump’s head of Talent Platform, Trisha was the Head of People at Provi, a start-up in the alcoholic beverage ordering space. While there, she built out their people function, scaling them from 70 to 300+ employees in 15 months. Prior to that, she was the Head of Talent at Tempus, a healthcare tech company where she managed a team of 8, recruiting up to 250 roles at a time.

With a combined 15 years of corporate recruiting, campus recruitment, and H.R. experience under her belt, Trisha is passionate about networking and finding new, unique ways to locate talent. In her role at Jump Capital, she uses her collective experience to partner alongside the heads of H.R./Talent and founders at portfolio companies to help develop and refine their procedures and processes. Trisha’s specialties include talent attraction and retention, organizational development, manager training, interview skills/resume writing, building and refining internship programs, and employment branding.

A graduate of Eastern Illinois University, Trisha holds a B.S. in Family and Consumer Sciences, Consumer Affairs. She was also a Professional Fellow with the U.S. Department of State, focusing on the economic empowerment and development of start-up communities in Eastern Europe. She is a Board member and organizer of T4Youth, an annual tech community table tennis fundraiser for ChiTech Academy, a project-based STEM high school on the city’s southwest side.

When asked what she brought to the table, a former boss said, “hustle.” When she’s not hustling, you can find her puttering around her garden, putting her stamp on her historic Chicago brick bungalow, or indulging her inner foodie at one of Chicago’s restaurants.
