hello

I’m Jenna and I partner with teams to turn ambitious visions into measurable outcomes through disciplined project leadership and thoughtful strategy delivery.

Most recently, I come from strategy and operations at the Gates Foundation where I managed a $200 million+ portfolio and led high-stakes initiatives from concept to completion. I have a proven track record of using synthesis capabilities to bridge the gap between strategic vision and operational reality and my background spans startups, campaigns, higher education, the federal government, the classroom, and as a licensed financial advisor where I worked with clients to help them achieve long-term goals.

These experiences have helped shape my practical, people-centered approach to complex work. As an active-duty military spouse, I’ve built muscle in adaptability and resourcefulness and live a life committed to public service. I come from a family of builders in small town Maine which I credit for instilling values in community, accountability, and work ethic in service of building things that matter.

I started The Works to serve teams I admire accomplish goals I share.
