After living and studying in France, Jen began her career in financial services, and discovered at that time a passion and talent for sales effectiveness and achieving results! It was a detour from a plan to teach French and not long after, her role expanded into leading sales teams and driving sales results and behaviours nationally. Jen has worked for leading organizations like CIBC, American Express, AVEDA, and for the last 7 years has circled back into education with Pearson where she has been recently appointed to VP Sales and Marketing North America.  Jen lives with her family in Toronto, Canada and is presently working on an MBA through the University of Edinborough, Harriot-Watt Business School. When not immersed in professional and academic activities she enjoys travel, having a dog around, the restaurant scene, and interior design.
