ABOUT JENNIFER GIFFELS
I’m a human-centered people and project leader who believes that all great work starts with curiosity, candor, and a commitment to helping others succeed. For more than a decade, I’ve built my career in mission-driven organizations from CBOs to nonprofit consultancies to national intermediaries, and have a unique ability to blend strategic thinking with detail-oriented execution.Colleagues past and present know that I hold high standards and lead with heart. I ask bold questions to get at root causes, give and receive direct feedback, and create the conditions where teams feel supported to do their best work. Whether navigating a multi-stakeholder event, mobilizing a network for a cause, or rolling up my sleeves to solve unseen problems, I’m the person who will find a way to get it done and meet or surpass our goals.My expertise sits at the intersection of people leadership, project execution, and systems-oriented thinking, and I’m currently working in the education and workforce development space. I’m a proud generalist who is motivated by passionate colleagues and working towards a common purpose. After years in Boston, I’m currently based in NYC, but I work with teams and partners nationwide.If you’re working on expanding access to quality jobs, building strong teams who achieve results, or shaping the future of talent and work, I’d love to connect.
