Bio
LinkedIn User
Jenny is a force of nature. She has an amazing ability to bring together agency, client, and external stakeholders (all coming from very different places) to find common ground on unbelievably complex and sensitive scientific and healthcare issues. Out of this she always manages to lead teams to produce genuinely moving and beautiful campaigns, that are really effective. I can’t think of many people that have that ability. Through Jenny’s work I’ve seen lots of genuinely meaningful partnerships being developed between companies, non-profit and government stakeholders. That doesn’t happen often. She brings a positive and proactive approach to leading teams which helps everyone get through even the most difficult projects. Her leadership skills have helped bring lots of people along in their careers, which is always great to see. She is a joy to work with.

Jenny is a joy to work with – effervescent, fun and smart. She always asks the killer questions in a room, and designs communications strategies that are as clever as they are creative. What I love most about Jenny is her drive, she is passionate in everything she does, insatiably curious about the world and always open to new ways of thinking and approaches.
