  • Jess Manganelli

    In nearly two decades in this industry, it’s safe to say I have yet to find another account & people leader that has made an impact on my career more. Jess brings a certain sparkle to any team she’s a part of that makes you see work as before & after your time with her. She has a natural gift to bring teams together to solve complex problems whether it be around internal process or challenging client dynamics while ensuring the strategic vision of the organization is always core to her solutions. Having Jess on your team means everyone will be truly heard, supported and leave time with her feeling empowered about how to move forward in their roles and any challenges that arise when she’s gone. From a people, process and developmental perspective I can’t recommend Jess enough.
