Our Leadership Team

Jenna Hicks

President

Jenna has spent more than 25 years building, leading, and transforming Go-to-Market organizations. Throughout her career, she has worked at the intersection of business strategy, enterprise sales, customer value, and executive engagement, helping organizations navigate growth, transformation, and the leadership decisions that drive long term success.

Her experience extends beyond traditional sales leadership into Go-to-Market strategy, value based selling, sales enablement, customer experience, and executive relationship development, giving her a unique perspective on how business decisions shape revenue organizations.

Having spent her career sitting in the meetings where business decisions become people decisions, Jenna brings a practitioner’s perspective to every client engagement. She understands the opportunities, tradeoffs, and leadership decisions clients face because she has made many of those same decisions herself.

As President of Sales Talent Group, Jenna is leading the firm’s next chapter while spearheading 100 Seats at the Table, an ongoing initiative designed to engage with today’s revenue leaders, identify the trends shaping tomorrow’s Go-to-Market organizations, and bring those real world insights directly into every search and every client engagement.
