    SABBATICAL HIGHLIGHTS

    In 2016, I took a sabbatical from "official" research and strategy to unofficially but more deeply understand other places, people, and ways of life around the globe.

    See below for our journey's most standout experiences, and stay tuned for the insights and projects that resulted.

    HELLO, I'M JEANETTE

    ... a human-centered strategist by birth and by trade

    I seem to have been put on this planet to:

    1. Connect 

    2. Learn

    3. Make lists (aka synthesize, organize, implement)


    I'm driven by an inherent desire to better understand others and myself, and to use this knowledge – and list-making inclination! – to help people get what they want and need.

    ​

    It's not just what I do, it's who I am.
