About Jennifer...
Founder and principal of Burkett Partners, Jennifer Burkett learned early in her professional career to honor her left-brain/right-brain tendencies. A dual degree holder in Mathematics and Studio Art, Jennifer believes in designing solutions that embrace the whole person. She calls it people-first operations.
Jennifer started Burkett Partners to bring her unique and powerful blend of empathy and expertise to companies that didn’t have the time or resources to install a full time operations team or COO. She thrives on helping small to medium companies enact radical change and do great things.
With a career that spans investment banking, real estate underwriting, social compliance auditing and owning a small artisan business, she’s uniquely poised to creatively tackle diverse challenges in a variety of industries.
As a trained Yoga teacher, a speaker of conversational Spanish and a long-distance cyclist, Jen believes that the best strategies can come from unexpected experiences, she strives to create connection and alignment within all her client teams.
Has your company grown organically from a small tight-knit team to a diverse group of talented people? Are the systems you have in place no longer helping you realize your goals?
