Jill is an insatiably curious, accomplished professional who brings her coaching clients unique navigation skills. Jill’s career journey from international marketing and publishing to acclaimed scientist to management consultant and coach give her an exceptional understanding and empathy for clients navigating their unique career journeys.

Jill began her career in New York City, managing major account brands with Young & Rubicam. Through this experience with a dynamic marketing team, she transitioned over as a founding creative team member of an emerging innovative magazine, Cigar Aficionado, under Marvin R. Shanken’s vision and direction. Continuing her personal and professional development, inspired by her passion for science and nature and her Navy veteran father, she earned a degree in biological oceanography. Jill was part of a scientific research team and led a deep-sea exploration of the Pacific Ocean.  The team researched underwater volcanoes aboard Alvin (DSV-2), a deep-ocean submersible owned by the United States Navy. As a result, she was awarded the prestigious “Explorer of the Year Award” from the international multidisciplinary Explorer’s Club (founded in 1904).

For the past 20+ years, Jill’s business partnership with Transformation Associates, Inc. working in management consulting and coaching comprised of developing current and emerging leaders in Fortune 500 pharmaceutical, financial services, biotech, and academic institutions.

In addition to her executive coaching commitments, Jill instructs professionals in the Heidrick & Struggles-led Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance (LCOP) certification program at American University and Rutgers University. Through this same LCOP program, she mentors up to 30 LCOP professionals annually in developing their coaching skills and ICF core competencies, with the goal of obtaining their coaching credentials. Also, Jill is proud to serve her profession and community through pro bono work with the ICF Foundation and on the ICF-NJ Board Nominations & Elections Committee.

Jill has learned that no matter the uniforms worn, medals donned, environments inhabited, or terrains navigated, people are the key. Her depth and breadth of experience show up in every coaching session. She partners with clients to create a vision, carry a mission, drive change, and evolve work culture while maximizing organizational impact. Co-creating a partnership with Jill as your coach provides a safe, confidential, and open environment where clients have space to explore and thrive. Jill’s coaching is forward-focused thought leadership. She helps established and emerging leaders navigate goals around creating awareness, identifying core challenges and opportunities, managing blind spots, and recalibrating alignment with their values. As a result, leaders develop emotional intelligence and core leadership competencies to increase leadership agility and self-awareness while actualizing potential in expanding their capacity to hold more perspectives. When you choose Jill as your coach, you’re selecting a thought partner and an ally who implements respectful candor – never judgment – to help you evolve.
