Navigating the Corporate Maze – With Grit, Strategy, and a Cup of Espresso
A corporate strategist, author, and speaker turning workplace chaos into career wins
ABOUT JENNY LIKANSIS
Jenny is a Chicago native now navigating the hustle of the Tri-State area with her signature blend of grit, grace, and just the right amount of caffeine. With over two decades of experience leading teams and driving transformation at powerhouse brands like The New York Times, Walmart Connect, and top-tier ad agencies, Jenny doesn’t just lead. She builds, fixes, and elevates.
She’s a strategic thinker, a systems whisperer, and a master of turning chaos into clarity. From optimizing revenue streams to streamlining operations for massive workforces, Jenny has a proven track record of making businesses more efficient, more effective, and more profitable. (And she’s got the receipts to back it up.)
When she’s not solving complex business puzzles, Jenny is pouring that same energy into her newsletter, EspressoFueled, a weekly love letter to women who are done surviving and ready to thrive. Alongside her book and guided journal, it offers a bold blueprint for redefining success on your own terms, exposing the cracks in the system so we can stop falling through them, and giving women full permission to lead with joy, boundaries, and unapologetic self-worth. It’s strategy with soul, caffeine with conviction, and a reminder that you don’t have to do it all to be doing it right.
