Jenna enjoys being a thought partner and problem solver for those working to create a more equitable and inclusive world. She began her career in corporate law, advising public companies, private equity firms and financial institutions on complex business transactions, but eventually decided to focus on nonprofit work to pursue her passion for helping others make a positive social impact.
