Jeanne is committed to stakeholder engagement and clear roadmapping as essential elements of effective strategy and program delivery. She brings more than 25 years of experience spanning the corporate, nonprofit, and public sectors. Jeanne holds an MBA from Wharton and an MA in International Development from Johns Hopkins SAIS.
Jeanne began her career in Johannesburg, South Africa, working with a joint venture between an American company and a South African bank to expand access to financial services for underserved communities. She helped establish the organization’s volunteering and grantmaking programs, an experience that sparked her enduring interest in cross-sector collaboration as a means to address social challenges.

She has worked within organizations and with clients on complex program management, strategic planning, change management, and business process improvement.
Outside of work, Jeanne enjoys traveling, running, cycling, crossword puzzles, and both writing and receiving snail mail. Combining her passion for running and community development, Jeanne has been a longtime volunteer with Back on My Feet DC, and she has served on the boards of several social services and arts nonprofits in the Washington, DC area. A longtime DC resident, Jeanne is currently based in Stuttgart, Germany with her husband, Justin.
