Eight people who plan, build, and measure your growth together. Each person owns a part of the work and all of us keep the whole picture in view.
Jen has led marketing for more than 30 years, from Fortune 100 companies to agency leadership and her own businesses, and she has been featured on FOX Digital, CBS, NBC, and ABC. She is a Purdue graduate based in Indianapolis, and she founded 5 & Rise on the belief that sustainable growth happens when everything in a business works together.
Jen helps owners connect strategy, messaging, marketing, sales, systems, and customer experience, so the business grows with clarity and a brand people remember. She hosts the Marketing Deconstructed podcast, where she shares practical insights that simplify what often feels overwhelming.
She also loves mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs and helping owners see the opportunities already within their reach.
“The majority of companies work in silos, separating the sales and marketing teams from playing nice together. The whole goal of marketing is to increase brand awareness affording more opportunities for sales teams to bring in revenue. Clarifying and creating goals that both teams can get behind, along with clear communication and collaboration between sales and marketing teams increases the overall company success.”
