About Jennifer Hicks

After the realization set in that I wouldn’t be a Grammy award-winning singer, I focused my sights on finding a career in which I would be able to flex my strong analytical and management skills. It’s no surprise that I ended up working for a company that I’m passionate about the brand, as well as it\'s core beliefs. Each brand has stories about its history and how those stories have impacted the consumer. These stories not only engage, inform, surprise, and amuse their audience, but they also deliver measurable business goals. The best part of my job is that I’m part of the brand story by driving and contributing to business goals. I’ve got over 20 years of experience in Portfolio Management, Leadership, Operations, and Strategy. I can plan and execute several projects simultaneously, achieve project goals, and meet those goals on budget, on or before deadlines. Dedicated and focused; able to prioritize, complete tasks, and work independently or within large teams. I am a self-motivated professional with excellent research and writing skills, able to grow positive relationships with clients and colleagues at all organizational levels. I’m well-versed in strategic planning, budget forecasting, communication, business operations, planning, and portfolio management. My role requires me to produce high-quality content that meets financial and business objectives. One of my favorite quotes is, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” – George Bernard Shaw.
