ADVANCE TEAM
Hi, I’m Jessica — a go-to-market strategist, designer, and entrepreneur with a focus on purpose-driven brands. With over two decades of experience, I’ve collaborated with global leaders like Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Lutron, sharpening my skills in scaling businesses and fostering strong, purpose-led cultures. My approach is grounded in the belief that combining authentic leadership with strategic clarity drives long-term growth with your internal team and external ideal clients.
I founded ADVANCE, a creative agency dedicated to helping leaders and organizations align purpose with strategy. At ADVANCE, we work with bold, forward-thinking brands to craft actionable strategies that fuel growth and build meaningful cultures. By combining innovative design and our proven Inside-Out Methodology, we help brands connect authentically, inspire internally, and differentiate themselves in competitive markets.
