Prior to joining SwingSearch, Jen was at Betts Recruiting where she realized recruiting was her “fifth and final career.” Prior to that, Jen had a career in marketing at various companies big and small (SmartThings, TouchTunes, William-Sonoma) where she helped build brands, manage teams and define overall creative strategy. This experience gave her insight into the mind of a marketer and what marketing leadership needs to succeed..
At SwingSearch, Jen’s primary focus is senior IC and Director-level marketing roles primarily in B2B SaaS, security, networking, infrastructure and AI companies.
Jen has a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Gallaudet University and brings her listening ear to the recruiting process so she can understand clients’ and candidates’ true drivers. She’s a Southern transplant, an Atlanta native who now calls the Bay Area home after 20+ years.
