Mikyle Jessen

Mikyle Jessen was appointed President of JL Capital Group in June 2023 and named by Chairman Joseph Land as his hand-picked successor to lead the firm’s next generation of growth.

Mikyle began his career in 2010 as co-founder of Midwest Corporate Credit. By his mid-twenties, he had arranged more than $400 million in capital for American small businesses, earning recognition as one of the industry’s most dynamic young leaders. INC Magazine ranked MCC among the nation’s fastest-growing companies for three consecutive years.

In 2016, he founded National Corporate Credit, which under his leadership became a national leader in small business finance. The firm grew from a five-person startup to a platform of more than 850 representatives across the country in less than three years. Mikyle successfully exited the company in January 2023.

His leadership and expertise have been recognized by CNBC, Nasdaq, Harvard Business School, and Bloomberg, where he has been featured for his insights on capital markets, business growth, and leadership.

Mikyle lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife and two daughters.
