Scaling a company through multiple growth stages is a challenging endeavor, and most founders I’ve met are dynamic and brave leaders. Jennifer Holmstrom, Platform Team Partner at Notable Capital, excels in partnering with founders to support them in successfully navigating these company growth stages. Jennifer and her team assist technology company founders with talent strategy, sales, marketing story, engineering velocity, and leadership development. Jennifer recounts best practices from success stories at Handshake, Stripe, and Poshmark. She shares the keys to leadership success: growth mindset and an insatiable appetite for learning. In addition to supporting others, Jennifer is herself an excellent senior leader, describing how leaders must get 2 things right: 1) providing clarity around an exciting destination and) empowering the team to get there. Jennifer believes that both managing people and partnering are “1-on-1 sports,” requiring deep situational leadership. Jennifer is a compelling, dynamic leader who generates energy in every interaction.
