Corporate Events Manager · Senior Project Manager
10+ years producing high-stakes meetings, board sessions, and events across pharma and luxury, end to end, at Novo Nordisk and Merck and through my own practice, PYNKIWI.
"Luxury is a feeling generated by meticulous planning."
My grandfather always said knowledge is the only legacy worth passing on. That belief shapes how I work: I build events, programs, and systems that outlast the moment they were made for.
For more than a decade I have managed high-stakes projects and events across pharma, professional services, and luxury, at Novo Nordisk and Merck and through my own practice. I lead cross-functional teams, run intake and delivery as a Scrum Master, and produce meetings, board sessions, and destination events end to end.
I bring an international perspective and a planner's precision to everything I touch. Whether it is a board meeting in Paris or a company-wide reporting system, I care about the same things: clear planning, calm delivery, and a result that feels effortless to the people in the room.

Visit PYNKIWI"I worked with Jennifer at Novo Nordisk, where she supported our team in a project management capacity. She's now targeting event and meeting management roles in pharma and professional services, and that's a space where her energy, ideas, and global mindset would really stand out, in addition to her attention to detail and superb time management."
"She was able to handle her projects autonomously, all the while adding great value. A great asset to the team."
