Your Problems 🤝 My Solutions

  • Embedded with your team for as long as needed, I act as a fractional PO who converts ambiguity into decisions, clear requirements, a prioritized backlog, and ongoing delivery accountability.


  • Using deep research and proven methods, I create build ready specs that allow your product come to life faster and cleaner that other options. This document can include user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, a clickable prototype, and/or a prioritized ready to start sprinting backlog.

  • Working alongside your team, I act as a fractional PM providing direction in the form of a project roadmap and project plan while working with your team to ensure a successful delivery.

  • Specializing in remote team work, I can help your organization align on systems and processes that will reduce friction and allow for more seamless and smart work.

Hey, I’m Jeanette!

Dog lover, mediocre surfer, shark obsessed diver, after hours horse trainer, and a chocolate chip cookie addict.

My career has been a wild mix of empowering changemakers, growing startups, and building design solutions that actually matter. I’ve worked with non-profits in East Africa to improve women’s health and create income-generating opportunities, partnered with organizations like USAID to drive investment back into diasporic communities, and helped unicorn startups like WeWork grow like crazy.

But beyond the titles and buzzwords, I’ve always been driven by one thing: creating meaningful impact. Whether it was designing an app to support healthcare workers in remote East African villages or overhauling digital systems that desperately needed some help, my work is all about amplifying missions through thoughtful, functional work.

When I’m not at my computer, you can find me attempting to catch a wave, jumping horses over sticks, pretending I'm on Great British Bake Off, or going on an adventure with my rescue dogs, Bob and Beans.
