I'm Jenn Van Slooten, Chief Solutions Director and Owner. I'll be your guide as we work through your engagement.
Early career experience at a national disaster restoration firm helped to develop and hone a skill for effectively solving complex problems with simple and adaptive solutions. Curiosity about ways to become more effective and efficient under pressure, coupled with exposure to diverse teams across the country, created a love for change and continued process improvement practices.
Exploring operational solutions connected naturally for me to the numbers and accounting side of the business. Needing more technical fuel, I leveled up my skills with a Bachelor's Degree in Business and Accounting, followed a decade later by a Master's in Business Administration.
I've enjoyed working with and for construction, manufacturing, distribution, and non-profit organizations in the greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan Lakeshore communities. I began my career working in Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Birmingham before settling in West Michigan about 20 years ago. My husband and I, along with our two mischievous dachshunds, enjoy camping in Marquette and heading into the woods as often as we can to recharge and breathe deep. We enjoy meeting new people on our travels and sharing some grapes and hops over a campfire with friends. We love to work hard and value playing hard in equal measure.
Entrepreneurs are a unique breed...our own brand of crazy. Embrace it! We have. Our firm was created to help each of us fall a bit more in love with what we do in each season of the adventure. Make this life as unique and wonderful as you were created to be!
