Bio
David Bertot
Jennifer Esposito is an absolutely fantastic business partner. We worked together in an often challenging business environment. She has the ability to lead cross functionally with an even keel and refreshing leadership style. She is incredible at producing results where there are challenges. I highly recommend Jennifer Esposito, as she is an asset to any organization.
Elizabeth Krause
Jen is a clear-minded achiever that has a natural ability to partner and invent. She is a very bright minded, positive and creative marketer - with whom I would welcome the opportunity to work with again in the future. Both able to activate and facilitate, she was a pleasure to create with.
Michael De Lucia
Jen has the innate and valuable ability to remain calm, think clearly and deliver quality work no matter how tight the timeline or stressful situation. We worked especially closely and effectively in the development and launch of the new IWM Cellars brand extension and flagship retail location. Jen never failed to impress with her ability to dive in and take on new projects and responsibilities in areas where she may not have had any previous experience. She knows how to figure things out and just "get it done" in a fully committed manner and with a demonstrable aesthetic eye.
