Our Team
We’re a team of strategic partners who bring diverse strengths and shared values to every engagement.
Jess Sage, Founder
Jess brings over 15 years of experience helping organizations develop leaders, build strong teams, and navigate change. With a Master’s in Organizational Development, she partners with growing companies, start-ups, and enterprise teams to design programs that align people with purpose and drive sustainable results. Known for her practical, people-first approach, Jess builds strategies that strengthen culture, improve team effectiveness, and prepare organizations for growth.
Her interest in family enterprise is grounded in personal experience—growing up in a 135-year-old, six-generation farming business. She draws on these roots to support privately held and multi-generational organizations with leadership transitions and long-term planning.
A mom of three, Jess finds joy in the chaos of family life and recharges through early morning spin classes—her daily reset and secret to staying grounded.
