She moved to San Francisco to lead the Bay Area State and Local Tax practice in 2010 and later moved into a national role with the State and Local Tax practice.

In these and other positions, she has grown our business through her ability to forge strong relationships, build diverse and high-performing teams, and lead successful engagements for clients across various industries, including asset management, technology, and financial services. Jennifer embodies KPMG core values in all she does. Through intentional mentoring, coaching, and sponsorship of under-represented talent, she has helped create an inclusive environment where people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives can thrive. Jennifer is active in various community DE&I initiatives.

For instance, as a long-time cohort leader for the KPMG Women’s Leadership Summit, she has helped support the development and advancement of women into leadership positions while promoting the KPMG brand and business development efforts. A champion of KPMG involvement in community service, Jennifer has co-led the Silicon Valley office’s participation in the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life.
