Healthcare is complicated, fast-moving, and deeply personal. The people who lead in this space need more than expertise—they need real-world EQ.

With deep experience navigating everything from media strategy to data analytics and AI, Jennifer shares how empathy, collaboration, and curiosity have shaped her leadership style. We get into how Real Chemistry helps humanize science, why communication is a differentiator in healthcare, and how she evaluates talent.
