Jennifer worked at Eli Lilly and Company for nearly 20 years. Two of her most recent major accomplishments include:

Leading the company in working with other pharmaceutical companies to design and implement a legally binding digital signature solution that enabled electronic submission of FDA documents that formerly required paper signatures. This solution was awarded an Eli Lilly Quality Advocate Award and the Lilly Research Lab's President’s Award.
