Jodi is the engine that keeps Blue Hat humming. As COO, she builds the systems, processes, and infrastructure that let great work actually happen — turning vision into motion and chaos into clarity. She approaches every challenge with the kind of earnest dedication that makes the people around her better, and she takes real pride in making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Jodi is also an author herself, which means she understands firsthand what's at stake when a writer trusts a publisher with their story. That understanding shapes everything she builds.

Rachael sees the world in color, composition, and story — and she's spent her career making sure books look and feel as powerful as the words inside them. As Creative Director, she guides authors through the publishing journey from manuscript to finished book, holding the big picture with both hands so nothing loses its soul along the way. Details slow her down because she's three steps ahead, imagining the color of the cover before anyone has read the title. An author herself, Rachael came to Blue Hat with a clear-eyed vision of what the creative process should feel like — and she built it.

Brandon is the first friendly face and the reason authors feel at home at Blue Hat. He believes every story deserves a seat at the table, and he's made it his mission to pull up a chair for any writer who walks through the door. Warm, genuine, and deeply in love with the craft of storytelling, Brandon builds relationships that last well beyond a book's launch day. He knows what it feels like to search for a publisher who truly gets it — because he lived that search before co-founding Blue Hat as the answer he wished had existed.
