I'm Jenn. I'm the person founders call when they need everything from a Tax ID to a 401k to an intern program — handled, documented, and running without them. 30 years. Every stage. One person.

FEIN, SoS registration, Gusto, EDD, workers comp, benefits, 401k, IIPP, workplace violence prevention, quarterly excise taxes, W-2s, open enrollment. Legal entity to fully compliant employer — done.
Vendor management, AP processes, ops manuals, Google Workspace, Slack, intranet, CS function, support tooling, onboarding, offboarding, intern programs, financial reporting. The infrastructure that runs without you.
Job descriptions, interview processes, competencies, offer letters, onboarding checklists, headcount plans, job family architecture, ERGs, culture programs, manager coaching, performance conversations. People operations, end to end.
I work best with business owners who value integrity, accountability, and results over optics — people building something real, not just something that looks good in a pitch deck
I have a particular focus on women-owned and minority-owned businesses — because the most interesting, purposeful companies being built right now are coming from founders who had to earn their seat at the table, and those businesses deserve the same operational firepower as anyone else.
That said — if you're mission-driven, serious about execution, and the work is right, I want to hear from you.
You're a fit if...
→ You're growing faster than your systems
Things are working until they suddenly aren't. You need structure that scales.
→ You need a decision-maker, not a deck
You want someone in the work — not someone observing it from a PowerPoint.
→ You want outcomes, not ongoing
I work clean and lightweight. I'm not building dependency — I'm building capability.
I came up in technology at a time when women in the room meant someone was handling HR. I learned by doing — by outworking the room, by paying attention to what brilliant actually looks like versus what it just sounds like.
I got my AA in Social and Behavioral Sciences at 39. My employer paid for it while I was already doing the work. I didn't need the degree to do the job. I wanted it because I earned it.
I've done every piece of work I'm known for. Myself. I have no ego about it now — I just have competency, and I know exactly who to call when I'm not the best person for something specific. That's part of what you hire when you hire me.
(Meaning: I have a trusted network and I'm not too proud to use it. That's part of what you hire.)
