Jim Reese

COO

I have over 25 years of experience building and implementing software solutions, and bring that expertise to my role as Chief Operating Officer at WeNeedaVacation. As a leader in the short-term rental industry, I manage the day-to-day operations of our local, niche vacation rental platform serving the Cape & Islands. Outside of work, you can often find me on the Outer Cape exploring the beaches, hiking and fishing.
