Angela v. Beckh-Bacchetta, PhD

Working with Jennifer as a fellow student during our Executive MBA at INSEAD was a true pleasure. Jennifer's insights about digital transformation and marketing expertise were always very interesting, highly relevant and extremely analytical. More recently I have been fortunate to witness Jennifer's stellar presentation skills when she held a course on Innovation at Sorbonne University. Her strong communication skills and talent to answer question articulately and precisely make her a great speaker both in academic and business settings. I would recommend Jennifer as a highly talented business professional with extraordinary skills in analyzing and communicating - Jennifer is a true marketing wizard.

I have known Jennifer for years and have always been impressed by her abilities to cope with new people, new work environment, new challenges Her natural curiosity, her genuine interest in others, her amazing abilities to listen and rise the right questions at the right time and to show true deep interest in what she is being told make her a delightful person to deal with, and a true friend with whom it is always a pleasure to catch up when by chance we happen to be in the same city at the same time!
