Strategic Navigation for VP+ Leaders Through to First-Time CEOs at Career and Organisation-Defining Moments
Accelerating time to impact and legacy-building during high-stakes transitions | Creator of The Legacy Accelerator™
“Working with Jenn is like rocket fuel.” - CEO & Entrepreneur
World-class athletes don't navigate career-defining moments alone.
When elite performers step into new teams or higher levels of competition, they have performance ecosystems—coaches, strategists, support crew—designed to accelerate time to impact.
Yet when it comes to leadership transitions, we expect executives to go it alone.
My research on VP+ transitions reveals a critical gap: Most organisations focus all their support on the first 90 days. But months 3-9 are where exceptional impact is forged—or where leaders plateau.
This is the pivotal window when organisational support disappears, but the real work of legacy-building accelerates.
Drawing from both the corporate and sporting worlds, I've spent 20 years architecting Legacy Ecosystems—the strategic support systems that enable leaders to accelerate time to impact during four pivotal moments:
✦ Internal promotions to senior roles
✦ Leading transformation—AI, digital, or organisational change
✦ Global moves and international assignments
✦ Onboarding senior external hires
✦ Parent returners stepping into expanded leadership
I created The Legacy Accelerator™ to meet leaders and organisations at these career and organisation-defining transitions—moving beyond successful transition to exceptional, legacy-defining performance.

ABOUT JENNWorking with me has been described as "rocket fuel."
I'm the secret weapon for leaders who don't just want to survive their pivotal moments—they want to own them.
For 20 years, I've partnered with VP+ leaders through to first-time CEOs and global organisations (PepsiCo, Takeda, Novartis, to name a few) through the moments that define careers: the promotions that stretch you, the transformations that test you, the global moves that reshape you.
Here's what I know from elite sport: Champions don't navigate their biggest moments alone. They architect performance ecosystems—the right coaches, strategists, and support crew at exactly the right time.
That's what I do for leaders. I create strategic headspace—the space where bold thinking happens, where clarity cuts through complexity, and where you design the legacy you actually want to build.
Not just "making it through." Making it count.
I blend executive coaching, high-performance methodology, and a commitment to your well-being (because sustainable success isn't optional—it's the whole point).
This is my sweet spot: Leaders at pivotal moments who are ready to accelerate, not just adapt.
