“Jaclyn was more to me than just my boss, the co-founder, or the Chief Operating Officer at ZHEN. She was my leader. Jaclyn possesses a rare combination of traits that result in her being able to lead in any situation with effortless charm. During my time serving under Jaclyn, she inspired me to think not just one step ahead, but several steps ahead. She inspired me to come to the table with all of my big ideas, holding nothing back. And Jaclyn shaped my leadership style as well. The next team she leads will undoubtedly be lucky to have her at the helm. Thank you, Jaclyn, for the impact you had on me both personally and professionally.”
