Jennie Holmwood

I am happily married with two great teenagers and feel blessed for my time with family and friends. I enjoy volunteering in the community through our high school booster club, Boy Scouts, and our church.

In the summer, you can find me relaxing at our cottage in Michigan, at a rooftop bar in Chicago, or reading a book on our porch.

I am a leader in the delivery of Project and Program Management solutions for New Jersey. I am also an Account Manager for an insurance client, where we have implemented large-scale process, program, and technology solutions over the past 5 years, working alongside a strong team of Ad Astra consultants.

Prior to ad Astra, I spent 10+ years at Avantage and Codiqa, starting as a developer building compensation survey and market pricing tools. I continued to grow in leadership and project management, ultimately leading the Application Development group for the consulting side of AonHewitt.

We built a strong offshore team with Manish Mehra, who now leads our UK team. Having such a great team makes my job as president and cofounder much easier. The best parts of my day are when I get to collaborate with the brilliant people who work here.

In the winter, I enjoy skiing with my family, Ad Astra happy hours in the Loop, and trying the latest restaurants with my neighbors and friends.

All of my peers and friends at our company! They bring such energy and creativity – I learn from them each and every day.
