Jess is commercially minded, with a vast array of People Team experience. Jess is a fantastic leader, with the ability to seek out talent and grow individuals. Jess has an infectious personality and is really driven. She is a great advocate for women in leadership roles. Whilst working alongside Jess, at Swan, she was always a team player and had the ability to really lift the team. The encouragement and growth support Jess provided me, has been invaluable.
Louise Kennison
I had the pleasure of working with Jess for 4 years when we both started at Swan. Jess’s personality lights up a room and creates a sense of energy around her. Jess is extremely commercial and always looking forward which will help any organisation grow and change. Jess has a great eye for talent and has lots of experience in culture change. Working at a senior level, Jess will positively challenge, drive improvements and always ask why! Jess’s personality is infectious and simply a joy to work with. She is already greatly missed and hope some day our paths will cross again.
