Jennifer’s areas of expertise include business process improvement, performance management, call center operations, application selection and implementation, supply chain management and business operations, financial planning and analysis, project management, change management, and risk management. She has amassed these skills over the years via several roles at Alvarez and Marsal, Therative, Bare Escentuals, Safeway, and EY.
As a new transplant to Chicago, Jennifer enjoys learning about new neighborhoods and sampling the culinary offerings in her new city. She has participated multiple times in the Avon 39 mile walk for Breast Cancer, so walking for miles on a weekend is par for the course. Jennifer spends her remaining non-working time catching up with family and close friends.
