Through Helia Collective, she positions herself as a “Partner in How”, someone who doesn’t just advise, but actively helps build the systems, processes, and momentum required to make ideas real. That positioning alone challenges a common trap in consulting: staying too high-level and disconnected from implementation. Her track record reflects this bias toward action. From scaling Think of Us by 750% and raising over $70M, to helping Revolution Foods grow from $14M to $170M, Jess has consistently worked inside organizations during their most complex growth phases. She brings a combination of strategic clarity and operational depth that many consultants struggle to balance. What stands out is her philosophy: real impact comes from meeting people where they are and building practical systems that move work forward consistently. Whether it’s fundraising, team design, or strategy, her approach is grounded, repeatable, and focused on execution, not theory. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
