Jess is a strategy and transformation consultant whose career has centred on strengthening national resilience across cyber, defence and space, and is recognised for her clarity of thought, analytical depth and calm leadership in high‑stakes environments.
Jess began her career during the COVID‑19 period, supporting major government departments through complex digital and cyber transformation. Her early work helped uplift cyber maturity and strengthen decision‑making across critical functions at a time of national uncertainty.
Jess contributed to the UK’s growing role in space by designing a pioneering valuation framework for space‑based industrial cooperation and helping shape an international partnership within a multi‑billion‑pound export campaign. The programme supported the UK’s successful bid, and her framework now underpins further international campaigns exceeding £100m.
Today, Jess supports enterprise‑level strategy across Digital Intelligence’s entire portfolio, driving performance improvement, strengthening governance and enabling more confident, consistent decision‑making at scale. She is recognised for championing psychologically safe, inclusive cultures and her active support of early‑career talent through mentoring.
As part of a new generation of women shaping the future of defence, technology and national resilience, Jess brings integrity, curiosity, and purpose to sectors where diverse voices are critical to progress.
