  • "Jenn made the interim period of hiring a new Executive Director a great deal easier. She became familiar with the organization quickly and was able to maintain the day-to-day operations. Jenn also provided valuable guidance that set the new E.D. up for success. Jenn is knowledgeable in governance, staff management, strategic planning, and financial oversight. She was able to leverage her existing connections for a smooth interim and transition period. Jenn is personable and I hope to work with her again in the future."

    – Caroline Gonano

    Chair of the Poultry Industry Council

  • “Jennifer is anything but your average consultant. Her experience, approach and people skills make her one of a kind. She is a true listener and creative helper and that is what most people considering hiring a “consultant” are really looking for.”

    – Mike McMorris

    Chief Executive Officer, Livestock Research Innovation Corporation

  • “Food from Thought had the pleasure of working with Jenn on a large report that synthesized a broad section of research knowledge on animal and human pathogens. Jenn’s experience and knowledge was perfect for understanding the complex research projects, pulling them together into a cohesive story, and narrowing in on applications for industry and government. This work was no small task, and Jenn did an excellent job. Jenn also brought great enthusiasm and clear communication to the whole process, which we really appreciated along the way.”
