Jarrod Bell

Engineering Manager @ Storable

Relationship: Manager

I had the pleasure of working with Jaron at Newbook for three years, and I can confidently say he was an exceptional team member whose communication skills and ownership mentality set him apart. Jaron consistently demonstrated the kind of proactive leadership that drives outstanding results.

What truly distinguished Jaron was his outstanding communication approach. He had an exceptional ability to articulate design concepts to both technical and non-technical team members, ensuring everyone was aligned and moving in the same direction. Jaron never waited for problems to escalate – he was always on the front foot, reaching out early when he spotted potential issues, facilitating discussions when priorities shifted, and keeping stakeholders informed throughout every project phase.

His sense of ownership was remarkable. Jaron treated every project as if the success of the entire company depended on his contribution. He took full responsibility for deliverables, proactively identified dependencies that could impact timelines, and consistently delivered solutions that exceeded expectations. Whether it was CSS updates, Figma improvements, or WordPress adjustments, he approached each task with a commitment to excellence that inspired the whole team.

Jaron’s proactive mindset meant he was constantly thinking two steps ahead. He anticipated client needs, prepared for potential roadblocks, and ensured that his work integrated seamlessly with broader team objectives. His collaborative approach and clear communication created an environment where great results were not just possible – they were inevitable.

Any organisation would be fortunate to have someone with Jaron’s combination of technical expertise, communication excellence, and ownership mentality. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again without hesitation.
