Recent Achievements:
“Change projects are hard, but I believe that they deserve to be done well, for the people that are impacted as well as the organizations that they serve. I landed in HR and Change Management accidentally – and found my purpose. I am absolutely fanatical about helping leadership define and implement the people strategies and plans that help them achieve their most ambitious goals. As we grow the Red Clover team, we continue to seek out talented leaders from a range of backgrounds and functions to help us deliver innovative HR solutions for our clients.”
Before founding Red Clover in 2015, Jen worked with Altria, Philip Morris International and Accenture in IT and HR leadership roles where she had the opportunity to live and work in over 10 countries. She is a subject matter expert in financially-driven organizational change management and is regularly called on as a speaker on topics related to employee engagement during disruption, values based talent management, variable compensation strategies for SME’s, and leading through change.
Jen previously sat on the board of directors for Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges, the largest YMCA association in New Jersey and supports several YMCA organizations in the state. Most weekends, she can often be found on a pool deck officiating swim meets for her boys’ local YMCA team. She is often heard saying that she learned more about leadership from watching her boys’ swim coach than any management development program. It’s all about seeing someone as an individual, evaluating their strengths and helping them see and understand how to use them effectively. That, and sometimes you just have to do the work. You get out of it what you put into it.
Jen is a dual US / Swiss citizen and is fluent in English and French.
