Jennifer 'Jo' Ollis-Roth
Operational Strategy, People Culture, and Transformative Consulting
Driven by a lifelong curiosity for new perspectives and a commitment to community, I bridge the gap between operational strategy and human connection. As a lifelong explorer, learner, and creator, I have learned that sustainable growth requires both rigorous operational discipline and the space for creative inspiration. By balancing high-impact leadership with intentional stillness, I bring a grounded, creative energy to every partnership; ensuring that the organization outcomes I deliver are as resilient as they are inspired.

About Me
I help businesses and leaders navigate growth, transformation, and operational efficiency. As a Consultant, Fractional Leader, or Strategic in-house Partner, I join organizations to design and implement strategies that create meaningful impact.
​
My 20+ years of experience spans leadership and organization development, process transformation, and large-scale program management. I take a hands-on approach to identifying challenges and applying tailored solutions, from coaching executive teams to architecting global IT infrastructures. I am driven by long-term organizational health, whether I’m guiding a client through a discrete transformation or building a department from the ground up as a dedicated member of the team.
​
Currently, I serve as a Technical Program Manager (Consultant) for Toshiba, where I am leading a large-scale global IT implementation within their Professional Services arm. My career has often been defined by identifying the "unseen" gaps; while at SkillNet Solutions Inc., I was originally brought on as a Senior Project Manager, but quickly identified systemic inefficiencies that required a broader vision. I pitched and established the company’s first Project Management Office (PMO), leading it as Director before eventually transitioning to VP of People & Culture to drive global engagement and organizational effectiveness.
Beyond consulting, I’m passionate about supporting future leaders through education, mentorship, and advocacy. I serve on the Board of Stepstone Academy, a tuition-free nonprofit advancing youth literacy, and as a College Now mentor, I'm guiding students in their academic and career journeys. I’ve also proudly contributed to non-profits of personal interest in various capacities over the years.
​
Outside of my work, you’ll find me exploring nature, crafting in my workshop, tending to my garden.. After living in four countries and six U.S. states, I am proud to call Cleveland, Ohio my home, where I live with my incredible family.
