Meet Jen

Jen is a finance professional with the uncommon ability to weave in operational and talent management expertise. She is able to take a high-level approach to your business organization, helping all parts of the whole to work together in tandem to maximize your outcomes.

In 2009, Jen started at American Pest as the Executive Assistant to the CEO/owner.

In addition to her responsibilities as executive assistant, she maintained the financial records of a start-up marketing company that had the same ownership, demonstrating her abilities which resulted in her promotion to American Pest’s Director of Finance in 2011. At that time, the company was approximately $10m in revenue. In her role, she professionalized the finance function of the company by making strategic hires, creating monthly and annual processes and checklists, implementing internal controls to safeguard the business, and providing financial review and analysis to identify profitability opportunities in various areas of the business.

In 2016, American Pest was $13m in revenue and was acquired by Anticimex, a private-equity owned organization headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Anticimex was entering the United States market for the first time, and American Pest began a period of rapid expansion, tripling in revenue in 3 years and quadrupling in 5 years. During this time, Jen moved into the #2 position at the organization and led the company’s acquisition of 15 companies, totaling over $40m in acquired revenue with deals ranging from $100k to $8 million in revenue.

Jen also expanded her responsibilities within the company and took on oversight of customer service, human resources (HR), IT, and facilities & fleet management.

Led 15 acquisitions ranging from $100k to $8 million in annual revenue

Jen left the organization in December 2021 after an amazing twelve-year career at American Pest, and now devotes her time to helping other businesses achieve similar results, hitting their growth goals and scaling up by implementing best practices.

Having worked with Jen on a number of high-level projects that demanded a wide swath of expertise and talents to execute properly, I can confidently say I’ve never met anyone who I can lean on so reliably when my own skills as a Sr. Data Analyst aren’t enough. Jen is a one-woman army who can take any project thrown at her and no matter how new of a concept or how far along in the project we were, she could adapt and become an expert seemingly overnight and often was the “spark” that rallied together people and projects that had hit a wall and stalled and not only saw them through to completion, but also independently took on the task to fix and streamline any other hurdles that might prevent success even after we hand off the completed work. I can think of no better way to describe her than “terrifyingly competent” at any task she sets her sights on.
