Jenn Dubernas Portfolio


Hello!

My name is Jennifer Dubernas (Do•bern•as).

I am a curious, multifaceted business leader, driven to create meaningful, systemic changes across complex organizations. My collective work experience encompasses:

  • Multifaceted Business Leadership & Executive Advisory

  • Ecosystem-enabled Strategic Vision & Roadmaps

  • Organization Modernization & Cultural Change

  • Network Relationships & Partnership Growth

  • Cross-functional Business Unification & Transformation

  • Omnichannel Customer Brand Experiences & Supporting Business Services

  • Complex Phygital (Physical & Digital) Touchpoint Solutions

  • Digital Products (0-1)

  • Technology Experimentation (AI/ML, IoT, Smart Building, etc.)

  • Scalable Systems

  • Big Data & Insights - Descriptive to Prescriptive

I can drive forward holistically or focus and hone in on an individual area (e.g., Product). I love it all and it depends what leadership needs. We can take a systemic-driven approach or a more organic one - there are pros and cons to each.

The Trifecta of Success - System of Checks-and-Balances

I find more modern organizations that foster a collaborative partnership between Strategy & Innovation, Creativity, and Technology, consistently operate with greater effectiveness and efficiency, have a centralized North Star vision, and deliver more impactful and satisfactory outcomes. 

Creativity can often bridge the gap between Strategy & Innovation and Technology partners, as well as, participate and add human-centric value from it’s own unique perspective.

This modern business framework can collectively problem-solve and deliver at multiple elevations:

Initially I started in Creativity, however I have since branched out and worked in Technology and Strategy & Innovation circles, that I can help connect-the-dots across all three holistically.

Future of Work in Industry 5.0

I specialize in designing future-ready ecosystems that are people-centered, seamlessly designed, sustainable, digitally transformed, and strategically aligned with evolving business needs.

With deep experience partnering with leadership, cross-functional business groups, and external suppliers, I help reimagine work rethinking vision and aligning strategy, integrating operations, and fostering transformation at scale. I connect organizational, psychological, technical, and physical factors for success.

My work spans across Leadership, Strategy, Operations, Procurement, Enterprise Business Programs & Solutions, Brand, Sales, Marketing, Design, Customer Experiences, Digital, Product, Engineering, Data & Insights, Human Resources, Corporate Real Estate, Finance, Privacy, Ethics, Legal, Security, and beyond, connecting silos into unified, agile ecosystems.

I tackle ambiguity head-on, turning complexity into clarity and opportunity. I lead innovation from ideation to execution, integrating people, design thinking, strategy, and systems leadership to shape transformative outcomes.

What sets me apart is my ability in Systems Thinking, reframing business problems, defining North Star strategies, and embedding innovation into the enterprise DNA through scalable change and transformation.

I've helped organizations build and evolve capabilities and entire departments. My focus: driving business effectivity and operational efficiency through people-centered, globally scalable solutions.
