Jen started her company in 2019 as her corporate America escape, because starting a business must be easy, right?

Their campaigns have reached millions of customers, increased website traffic, and boosted sales for their clients. They believe in the goodness of people, the power of story, and unwavering integrity.

As CEO and founder of NEAT, Jen’s team of 13 women has worked with companies of all sizes – including local startups and billion-dollar companies— to launch new products, boost brand awareness, and drive website traffic through innovative marketing strategies customized to each unique business. In her downtime, she explores Louisville with her fiancé and Bernese Mountain Dog, trains for half marathons, and is (obviously) tasting new bourbon!
