Jessica Williams
Owner & Cheese Connoisseur
Jessica grew up in Southern Oregon, working her way through her teen years, serving breakfast, then coming back to host at night. Along with food, Jessica has a passion for exploration, which first took her to Flagstaff, Arizona to earn degrees in both Accounting and Psychology. Her longing for trees and mountains brought her back to Oregon, landing in Portland to start a career in public accounting. She earned her CPA in 2011, then went straight into combining her true loves: number puzzles, food, and helping others understand the logic and beauty behind those two. When she’s not traveling or hiking through the forest, she’s been running the numbers behind some of the most successful restaurants and bars in Portland since 2012 and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Nora Korhonen
The Comic Relief
Nora is a native Californian who split her college years between London and Portland, earning her degree in Art History from Lewis & Clark College in 2017. A reclusive right-brainer with a penchant for dark clothing, Nora discovered a newfound appreciation for numbers through her job at Title Bout. Outside of work you can most likely find her at home with her cat & a glass of wine, or at the tattoo shop.
Elise Moore
Bean Counter
Elise came to TitleBout with 20 years of restaurant experience under her belt. Having worked all of the ins and outs of restaurant management and earing the title of Sommelier she decided to make the change to get off the floor and put her skills to use with us. She comes from a long line of James Beard and Michelin restaurants and would love nothing more than to help you build better systems and improve consistency and efficiency with your business. When she is not nerding out about food and wine you can find her at the park with her little pup, Daphne.
Cate Rhoades
Bean Counter
Cate is an Oregonian through and through who has spent the majority of her life working in restaurants and hospitality. Although she graduated from Southern Oregon University with a pre-physical therapy degree, the restaurant life ran too strong in her veins. After a brief stint working away from the industry, she came back to the numbers side as she knew she would always have a love for restaurants and food. Outside of work, Cate is likely to be found playing with her dog, hiking, paddle boarding, and enjoying what Oregon has to offer. She is forever looking for the best Negroni and has been known to never to turn down a libation.
