About Jonathan N. Brooks

He’s scaled companies, successfully exited with private equity, and built a culture of empowered action.
Building a Business Scale
Jonathan N. Brooks’s journey began in finance, from his career at Arthur Andersen and witnessing firsthand how fragile “big business” can be. Through tours of duty with seven different private equity firms, he internalized that complexity kills momentum, and simplicity fuels growth. Today, at Warehouse on Wheels, he tackles one of the messiest logistics problems: when clients literally run out of space and time.
He’s taken a mindset of keeping it simple and owning the outcome into operations — from deploying mobile storage solutions to meeting aggressive timelines and ever-evolving demand. His approach isn’t complicated — and it works.
Leadership Philosophy & Culture
Jonathan leads with extreme ownership, insisting everyone in his organization own the pieces they control, even in uncertainty. His human-first approach means trust, clarity, and accountability are non-negotiable. He’s built systems that allow people to act with autonomy aligned to an overarching mission.
At the core of his leadership are four guiding principles — Innovation. Integrity. Impact. Insight. These values shape every decision, conversation, and partnership within his organizations, reinforcing a culture grounded in purpose and continuous improvement.
He’s had multiple successful exits, been an EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, and scaled Warehouse on Wheels to be a 2-time Inc. 5000 award recipient — but his pride lies in creating a culture where team members feel empowered to act.
Personal Story
Jonathan early career experiences shaped a grounded view of business and resilience. His finance roots taught rigor, but his path through a multitude of professional and personal challenges taught humility. Leadership, to him, is a blend of compassion and discipline — and he shows up that way, especially when the stakes are highest.
