Jenny Alfandary
University of Guelph-Humber
Think Tank Speaker
Think Tank - 2023 Oct 12 CISO CIO TT Toronto
Jenny has the courage, passion and determination to drive the change within a business turning previous liabilities to productive assets. She has done this not just for organizations but also shifted the thinking for industries that she has been part of. In the years to come, companies will wonder why they did not always operate this way.
It is a combination of creation and implementation experience that makes Jenny well suited to work in a company that defines new markets and transforms existing ones. A balanced work experience on both sides gives Jenny a unique vantage point on how to solve business problems and how to create products that actually work. Roles on the application of innovation include multinational firms, government entities and start ups. Jenny is comfortable with the balance that is required to continue to operate and manage a business while constantly striving to improve outcomes - decreased risk, increased profit and constant improvement of customer's experience.
As a senior executive, Jenny possesses the characteristics of a visionary leader that is more than comfortable taking the road less travelled. She can see opportunities and solutions for businesses that no others can. She is fiercely driven to business success and lives and breathes progressive excellence in herself and motivates and inspires that in her teams. Jenny motivates by living the example – at her core she is defined and respected for her ability to create and deliver – it simply is not in her DNA to be mediocre. Jenny inspires all levels of teams and departments - because of her attention and expertise at all levels.
