BOARDROOM PERSPECTIVE · OPERATIONAL OWNERSHIP
Senior people strategy has to survive contact with the real world.
Complex organizations need more than a recommendation. They need sound decisions, stakeholder alignment and execution.
Jennifer brings direct experience with multinational HR responsibility, nine acquisition integrations, complex labour relations, board-facing rewards and operating teams through change. She advises CEOs and executive teams—and stays close to implementation.
Engagements may involve interim executive accountability, strategic advisory, transformation leadership or a tightly scoped initiative alongside internal HR teams.
