Bio
Kathleen George
I have had the true fortune of working with Jen in different companies and different roles over an almost 30 year span of our separate careers. Jen is a true team-player, she communicates to understand and clarify. She classically embodies "working well with others". Not only has she been successful, and beloved by companies and clients, but she does it all with an incredibly witty sense of humor. The true sign of intelligence is a sharp wit. Jen has always made me laugh. We need more laughs in business.

I had the pleasure of managing Jennifer at Comcast Spotlight and would recommend her without hesitation as a focused, determined and successful media salesperson. Jennifer was a very important member of our sales team and someone who was instantly willing to help and share her career experiences with her fellow sales reps. I consistently counted on Jen to be a leader and mentor to new hires and she always exceeded my expectations. It's a pleasure to call Jen a former teammate and even more as a trusted friend.
