Hello, I'm Jennifer

I've spent over two decades at the crossroads of governance, strategy and transformation - in boardrooms, regulatory environments and moments where organizations either evolve or calcify.

I’m interested in what happens when accomplished people outgrow their own success. When the walls cave in - not from failure, but from finally being done performing. When restlessness isn’t a flaw but a feature.

I write about this on my Substack, Life at level 3.5, and I work with leaders and boards navigating these exact transitions.

Two decades of experience across law, business, and leadership have shaped a unique perspective on navigating complexity.

Where My Curiosity Lives Now

I’m drawn to edges - where old models break down and new ones haven’t formed. These are the questions I’m sitting with.

Modern Governance

What modern governance looks like in a changing world

Reimagining organizational structures and governance frameworks for rapid technological and social change.

Small States, Big Innovation

The role of small states in global innovation.

How smaller jurisdictions can lead in regulatory innovation and become catalysts for global business transformation.

AI & Leadership Evolution

How AI is reshaping leadership and executive decision-making.

Exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and human judgment in strategic leadership roles.

Women in Leadership

How women continue to expand influence and presence at every stage of career.

Understanding the evolving landscape of women's leadership and the unique perspectives they bring to executive roles.

I explore these themes in greater depth through quarterly strategic insights shared with fellow executives and board members.

Let's Talk

I work with boards, executives, and organizations navigating transformation - the kind that requires seeing clearly what’s outgrown and what’s ready to rise.
