Dickerson's Womenars: Jennifer Burnham Grubbs, CFO/COO, Quantum Insurance Services

In this second installment of Dickerson's Womenars series, Jennifer Burnham Grubbs, CFO/COO, Quantum Insurance Services discusses her career journey and her opinion on the outlook for women in today's health benefits landscape. Jennifer Burnham-Grubbs co-founded Quantum Insurance Services in 2012 and now serves as President/CFO. Her vision, industry expertise & problem-solving skills drive the firm’s ability to deliver excellent guidance and value for clients. As a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Princeton University, Jennifer brought her work ethic & critical thinking skills to her first insurance job at a boutique brokerage firm in Beverly Hills. Her interest in people, facility with numbers, and entrepreneurial spirit came together when she noticed that most insurance advisors see their work as sales, rather than consulting. To remedy this, she began leveraging her understanding of insurance products for the benefit of clients, not commissions and launched Quantum, a national commissions-agnostic insurance consulting firm. Recipient of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal Trusted Advisor Award and a top Quora writer since 2016, Jennifer continues to serve as a dynamic force within her field and inspire Quantum team members to do the same. Her firm regularly contributes to top financial publications such as Kiplinger, Forbes, and California Broker Magazine, and is a valuable resource for accountants, financial advisors, business managers, and clients across the country. Jennifer grew up in a small town on the East Coast and enjoys hot yoga, oil painting, and raising her 2 spirited daughters with her husband.
