Human Resources Executive
Meet Jenna Discher
Jenna Discher
Founder & Principal Consultant
A career-changer with two decades of HR and project management experience in financial services, media, FinTech, and AgriTech. Since 2013, her HR philosophies have been rooted in a passion for seeing companies enable people to do what they’re best at, contribute what the world needs from them, work alongside people who honor their unique identities, and be recognized for their talents. These principles fuel how I propose designing HR approaches, programs, and practices.
Empathy, Integrity, Excellence, and Authenticity are my north star values, embedded in everything I do. In my spare time, I love to mountain bike with my husband and father-in-law, connect with family and friends, read, cook, bake, and play with my two cats. The great-granddaughter of George Headley, famous Jamaican cricket player, it’s an honor to carry on his namesake in Headley Advisory.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. – African Proverb
Integrity
What you do when no one is watching. Words you choose, decisions you make, and behaviors you exhibit that reflect the sincerity of your commitment to doing what is honorable in the world.
Empathy
A step beyond sympathy for a fellow human being. Courageously, you try to walk in the exact shoes of someone else. You seek to understand who they are, what they feel, where they are coming from, why they feel what they feel, and how you affect them.
Authenticity
Non-performative ways of existing in the world, with consideration for what an environment is expecting from you. A conscious decision to behave, express, and support others honestly and sincerely, upholding your genuine beliefs and personal values.
Excellence
A steadfast commitment to greatness, giving due credit to the evolution and growth required to achieve excellence. You are relentless in doing your best, and willing to conceive of iterations of your work to foster best possible outcomes.
