Jessica Long joined Children’s Institute in June 2024 as the Project Impact manager. She is most fulfilled when she has an opportunity to bring her superpowers of big picture thinking, deep empathy, and business logic to teams that make a difference in the world. From her beginnings in public health and education to her current work with enterprise and non-profit organizations, Jessica has always been driven to bring people together around shared purpose and find creative ways to put that purpose into action. As a coach, strategist, and “person who makes things happen”,  Jessica has led hundreds of clients and her own teams in the pursuit of new ways to think and work, and the puzzle of applying those discoveries in the real world.

Highlights from Jessica’s past projects range from leading digital product and CX strategy projects in Fortune 500 companies, to designing and facilitating digital fluency programs for global organizations, to guiding small non-profit orgs through big changes in how they deliver value and build financial stability.
