At Halogen Ventures, she supported acquisition strategies and LP fundraising initiatives. Earlier, she joined the founding team at Haystack, a venture-backed communications startup, where she built and executed the company’s first GTM sales campaign—driving pipeline that contributed 15% of the annual revenue target.
Jenn began her career at TriNet, where she served as the Venture Capital Practice Leader and was recognized as the top-ranked Technology Consultant in Los Angeles—TriNet’s third-largest market—advising early-stage teams on HR and operational strategy.
A double Trojan (fight on!), Jenn earned both her MBA and BA from the University of Southern California.
