Over the last two decades, SGL founded and invested in dozens of companies across business, social enterprise and nonprofit.
Our experience has convinced us that how a company aligns its priorities, people, and execution ultimately defines its success.
This is why we created The SGL Impact Studio: to help teams lead better, scale smarter, and build enduring health.
The Impact Studio isn’t your typical advisor—we’re the strategic partner Founders call when facing their next growth milestone.
Our Story
& Approach
As Co-Founder of SGL, Jen worked with a $100M+ commercial portfolio, deployed over $50M in philanthropic capital, and advised 100+ companies as an executive in the trenches. She pairs an operator mindset with investor-centric rigor to increase SGL’s return on investment.
Unlike traditional consultants that diagnose from the outside in, Jen works deeply across every level of the organization. She jumps in the boat with founders and their teams and quickly becomes a trusted thought-partner, empowering them to move with confidence and clarity into greater impact.
Lead Better.
Scale Smarter.
