About Jennifer Spaude,
Founder & CEO

With nearly three decades leading corporate communications for public and private companies, I’ve seen firsthand how the right message can build trust, steady organizations through change, and strengthen reputations. I bring that experience to my consulting practice—helping leaders and teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.

My mission is simple: to provide expert counsel that helps organizations navigate complexity, manage critical moments, and inspire the people who matter most.

When you work with me, you gain a trusted partner who understands the pressures of business transformation, the challenges of change management, and the high stakes of mergers, acquisitions, and investor communications. I’ve been in the boardrooms, the media hot seats, and the late-night strategy sessions preparing for the next big M&A event or earnings call—and I know what it takes to get communication right when it matters most. I bring hands-on experience leading communications through CEO transitions, business transformations, crises, complex organizational changes, product launches, and brand repositionings—delivering clarity and confidence to all stakeholders.

Jennifer earned her BA in Mass Communications with a concentration in Public Relations from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and completed her Executive MBA at the Carlson School of Management. She currently serves on the Greater Mankato Growth Board and the Minnesota State University, Mankato Foundation Board. She has been a speaker at leading telecom industry associations, including US Telecom and the Fiber Broadband Association, and has been featured in Connect Business Magazine. Passionate about the power of communication, Jennifer is equally dedicated to mentoring the next generation of leaders and inspiring others to find their voice and volunteer interests.
