Jennifer Tharp has championed good governance practices for numerous Fortune 500 companies in a variety of industries. Her work has included partnering with executives on large-scale change initiatives, from sustainability programs and regulatory compliance to strategic execution.

Ms. Tharp has advised many high-tech multinationals including Vodafone, Thomson, Genentech, Nikon, and eBay, helping them improve efficiency and creating strong governance.

Working seamlessly throughout the organization to assess challenges and risks, develop practical solutions, and provide implementation guidance, she helps companies reach greater control at lower cost.

Profiled by Ziff-Davis Media as a "Great Mind in Development," Jennifer speaks frequently on governance, risk, and strategy.

She has served as a regional board member of Project Management Institute and Association for Strategic Planning.
