Jesse Oppenheim serves as General Counsel for a healthcare software company based in Charlotte. He leads legal strategy and compliance in one of the country's most complex industries.

He and his wife, Jamie, chose to build their lives and raise a family in Charlotte. Since moving, Jesse has become an active part of the city’s legal, religious, and civic communities, serving on local boards and helping shape conversations around leadership, equity, and integrity in the profession. 

Jesse was named an “Emerging Leader” by the Charlotte Business Journal, a three-time “Lawyer of Distinction,” and a 2025 finalist for the Journal’s Outstanding General Counsel Award. But titles don’t drive him; results do. He’s a tireless worker who believes public service means showing up, listening hard, and doing the right thing, especially when difficult.  Jesse enjoys spending time with his family and his dog, Jax.
