Your organization is changing. Are your leaders ready for what comes next?
At the Core is a leadership advisory practice for PE-backed healthcare and other high-growth companies, helping organizations develop and retain the Directors, VPs and executives their growth depends on, before leadership gaps become business problems.
We work with companies navigating rapid growth, M&A integration, and transaction readiness. Through leadership assessment, 1:1 advisory, and cohort development, we close the gap between where your leaders are and what your business now requires of them.
Specializing in PE-backed healthcare, with experience across tech, biotech, consumer goods, manufacturing and professional services.
TRUSTED BY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING
THE CHALLENGE
When your organization grows faster than your leaders can keep up, the gap between them becomes your biggest risk.
PE-backed companies scale fast. They promote their best people, bring in senior talent, and restructure teams, often in the same quarter. The leaders in the middle of that change, the Directors and VPs carrying the operational weight, are usually the last to get structured support.
At the Core works with organizations to close that gap before it shows up in your numbers. Through assessment, 1:1 advisory, and cohort development, we build the leadership layer that your growth requires, not after the crisis, but before it.

Courtney S.
Director, Commercialization & Business Effectiveness
"Working with Jenn has been nothing short of transformative. She helped me build the confidence to step into a new leadership role, improve my communication skills, and find a better work-life balance."

MEET JENN
Built from the inside out
"I spent nearly 20 years leading digital and e-commerce teams inside high-growth organizations, the same kind of companies I now help develop leaders. That's not a credential. It's a different way of seeing the problem."
I know what it's like to be promoted fast, handed a team, and left to figure it out. That experience shapes everything about how I work with clients. I'm not translating frameworks from the outside. I'm drawing on what it actually takes to lead when the pressure is real, the stakes are high, and nobody has time for generic advice.
