Voices of Success: The Jane Gentry Effect
Jimmy Parker
Organizational & Talent Development Architect
From a strategic perspective, Jane has helped our organization think through complex issues and provide an objective view on corporate initiatives. I have observed her keen ability to connect disparate elements to form a cohesive picture when strategizing and working with our executive team . Unlike many consultants who focus on only the organizational or individual level, Jane works well in both areas to deliver amazing results. She not only gave our team valuable advice, but she was also in the trenches with us executing and helping gain enrollment from our teams on initiatives. Jane brings confidence and focus to her work, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

My team and I had the pleasure of working with Jane over a 6 month period to conceptualize, design and implement a new customer engagement model with the aim of optimizing our go-to-market activities and driving pipeline efficiency and effectiveness. Jane brought a wealth of sales and go-to-market knowledge and experiences to bear as well as offering practical coaching and guidance to our people across multiple functions, career levels and geographies.
