Jennifer Connelly began her career in fashion working for designer Jeff Garner of Prophetik Clothing. After working her way up from intern to Brand Director, the 2008 downturn left her looking for the next chapter and she found her place working side by side with deeply talented visionaries in both the private and non-profit sectors.
Jennifer talks about her path from executive assistant to chief of staff to director of operations, how to go from being tactical to strategic, tips on helping your team raise capital, and more!
Whether you want to work your way “up” to being a Chief of Staff or not, I hope this interview encourages and challenges you!
