About Jennifer Helms

Strategic | Arranger | Command | Futuristic | IdeationBAF, LPM, CSPO, CSM, ACS, ALMII am an executive advisor and entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience helping organizations turn strategy into results across insurance, technology, and government sectors. My work centers on addressing persistent breakdowns in planning, delivery, and accountability by designing execution systems that leaders can own, operate, and sustain.As a Strategic Delivery & Execution Enablement Advisor, I partner with executive and senior leadership teams when delivery models are unclear, priorities compete, or outcomes fail to materialize. I work alongside leaders to establish practical planning, governance, and delivery disciplines; clarify decision rights and accountability; and coach leaders to operate the system effectively. My engagements are intentionally designed to be finite—focused on building internal capability and reducing long-term dependence on external consultants.I bring deep experience in operating model design, portfolio and program governance, delivery transformation, and change enablement. I am recognized for collaborating effectively with executive teams and boards to set priorities, translate strategy into executable roadmaps, and drive measurable performance improvements across complex, multi-stakeholder environments.Beyond my advisory work, I am the founder of a community-based nonprofit youth sports organization built from concept to operations with compliant governance, financial controls, and strong stakeholder engagement. I also serve as a trusted advisor to church leadership teams and small business owners, providing strategic planning and execution coaching grounded in integrity, stewardship, and sustainability.I live and work in Omaha, Nebraska, serving public-sector, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations nationwide.Core Competencies: Consulting | Strategic Planning | Management Skills | Change Leadership | Change Management | Account Management | Collaboration | Technical Project Leadership | Process Improvement | Program Implementation | Leadership Development | Cost Reduction | Lean PortfolioIndustries: State Government | Insurance | Group Insurance | Financial Services | Technology | InsurTech | Enrollment Technology | Payment | Online Payment | Customer Service | Support | Youth Sports | NonProfit
