Welcome Aboard, JLT!

Jeanette comes to COAA after working for 22 years at the General Services Administration (GSA), where she served as an Acting Director, Project and Program Manager, and Account Manager for more than 25 agencies. Most recently, she was a Supervisory Program Manager in the Office of Project Delivery. There, she oversaw a team responsible for project management communication, information, training and development, and workforce metrics for more than 2,000 program and project managers nationwide.
Prior to her tenure at GSA, she worked in both the private and public sectors, including law enforcement, tech startup, and various government roles.
Jeanette holds a BA in psychology and an MA in industrial and organizational psychology. She lives in Chicago with her husband and two children. She is also, unfortunately, a NY Yankees fan but we hired her anyway.
