CEO and Co-founder at ZEAL, Founder at The Hivve
Having Jennifer Tacheff on board for the past three years has been a game-changer for me and my company. Calling her a strategic brand consultant doesn't do justice to what she's brought to the table.
Jennifer quickly became the heart and soul behind our strategies, pushing us into territories we didn't even know we were capable of exploring. She's like our unofficial CMO/COO rolled into one dynamo of energy and insight.
Jennifer's energy is infectious, and her ability to make me and the whole company stretch beyond our comfort zones has been nothing short of transformative. She's the kind of person who's always pushing you to dream bigger, and then she rolls up her sleeves to help make those dreams a reality. And man, her knack for connecting people? Unbelievable. She’s turned introductions into opportunities and helped me see the power in delegating like never before.
What amazes me the most is how Jennifer keeps revealing new layers of her expertise. Her background is so rich and varied that, even after three years, I'm still discovering the breadth of her talents. She's got this rare mix of being a sunshine-bringing, smile-inducing force while also not hesitating to call out the tough stuff when needed. She’s been a mentor, a friend, and the best kind of critic all wrapped into one.
One of the biggest testament to her impact was the global RedwoodJS Conference this past year. I can't imagine pulling off something that massive without her by my side. It highlighted her stellar organizational skills, her strategic mind, and her uncanny ability to just get things done.
Jennifer has this way of not just fitting into various circles but actually enriching them. She’s everywhere, bringing real, tangible value to every group she’s a part of. We have benefitted immensely from her insights and energy; yet, because she is so multi-faceted, I always feel like I underutilize her.
To anyone lucky enough to work with Jennifer, you’re in for a ride.
She’s a powerhouse of strategy, action, and heart. If you’re looking to elevate your game, she’s the person you want in your corner. Cheers to Jennifer, the brightest spark and the sharpest tool in the shed, for everything she’s done and everything she’s yet to do.

With her marketing prowess and exuberant support, Jennifer helped me find my "woman in tech" mojo. She transformed me from someone who couldn't even write a slightly complimentary bio to an award-winning, frequently booked speaker and author. She's absolutely the full package.

Jennifer is in the top 1% of all people that I’ve ever worked with. She is a thoughtful, poignant executive leader with deep understanding of brand, community and Go-to-Market. She and her company, Manifest Advisors are an agent of positive change. Building of phenomenal work ethic, she provides organizations the ability to scale and grow significantly faster than they could in-and-of themselves. Jennifer is a phenomenal person to work with in every sense, and I look forward doing so again in the future.

Founder + Chief Visionary Officer, VR Perspectives
Jennifer brings an energy that at once calms you and makes you feel unstoppable. Calm in moments of anxiety and an energy of empowerment that makes you feel anything is possible. Jennifer has experience from marketing, inclusion, tech but most importantly in the interpersonal that comes with business life. Her high social and emotional intelligence plays a key role in her vast network and her success over the years. She is able to look at situations from multiple perspectives, she is aware of market trends, she keeps up to date with the latest tooling and practices. Expertise-wise, you just need to speak with Jennifer for five minutes and you know she has it! On top of all this I find every time I speak with Jennifer I come out feeling strong, powerful, like I really can handle it all, she creates a clear path in the midst of the chaos. This woman is the real deal.

Jennifer is something who I wouldn't be silly enough to put a label on. If there's anything I've experienced, it's that she can solve whatever problem you throw in front of her. The projects where I think she shines the most are those that require insightful business strategy and are fundamentally about people and their needs and motivations.

Manifest effortlessly assisted me in the beginning stages of my business with strategizing, marketing and branding. Jennifer empowered me to believe in myself along the way. Without me noticing, which helped to reduce anxiety, she linked me to various engagement opportunities that made me feel a sense of belonging when I arrived. Jennifer helped me to network and establish lasting partnerships within my community and industry. She helped me secure my very first public teaching opportunity at Twitter in San Francisco, CA. Jennifer has a real talent for getting things done to meet your needs (even when your vision may not be clear), no matter where you are starting from! Remarkably, Jennifer made me feel just as important as some of her larger and more well-known clients!

Jennifer is one of the key drivers behind the establishment of our company. At my request, she became an Associate Producer for our first short film, THE DIVISIBLE. When it came to marketing, Jennifer provided guidance and expertise that inevitably helped our team. With her diverse background and her uncanny ability to find ways of making things appealing to not only a broad audience, but also niche markets, we found additional ways to reach potential contributors. Our successful fundraising efforts also benefited from her involvement. THE DIVISIBLE has garnered 20+ global awards -- and counting. Jennifer went above and beyond and is not only was a tremendous champion throughout the three phases of production but continues to be a constant source of support. Jennifer played an integral part in making our inaugural launch a success!
