Operator-led strategic execution at key stages of revenue growth.
Fractional advisory and consulting that is a force multiplier to C-suite and Boards during critical inflection points when revenue needs to scale the most.
About
Operators who execute on advice.
Element 79 Partners provides operator-led growth, GTM, and strategic execution support for companies navigating critical inflection points. Unlike traditional advisory firms, E79 pairs strategy with hands-on execution, like having an operating partner next to you at all times, helping leadership teams move quickly from diagnosis to action, and from plan to measurable business impact.
E79 works alongside Boards, CEOs, and founders to accelerate revenue, strengthen GTM execution, and build enterprise value, across venture-backed, private-equity-backed, and public-company environments.

Most recently, as Chief Revenue Officer and President at JWX (previously Connatix / JW Player), Jenn grew the Connatix business 550% in five years, through a private-equity exit to Court Square Capital, then helped lead a merger-of-equals into the category-leading global video platform operating at Rule of 40. Earlier, she ran a $150M programmatic P&L as VP/GM of the Americas at Sizmek (acquired by Amazon and Zeta Global) and led go-to-market and strategic partnerships at AppNexus / Xandr (acquired by Microsoft).
She began her career in finance at Lehman Brothers and Neuberger Berman and was an early executive at Scoop St. (acquired by Gilt Groupe).
