What Jennifer Brown Consulting does

Jennifer Brown Consulting, now operating as changeforce, is a New York-based, private professional services consulting firm focused exclusively on inclusive organization transformation for large enterprises. The firm designs and delivers engagements aimed at shifting organizational culture and leadership behavior, addressing pain points such as high organizational inertia, leadership discomfort with cultural conversations, and misalignment between Employee Resource Groups / DEI Councils and business outcomes. Its portfolio is organized around four core service lines: Inclusive Practices Upskilling (workshops spanning Inclusive Foundations through Anti-Racism); Inclusive Strategic Planning & Metric Tracking (collaborative multi-year roadmaps with KPIs over a flexible two-year horizon); the ERG & DEI Council Playbook (workshops, templates, communication strategies, and a validated maturity model for tracking ERG growth); and Inclusive Coaching for Leaders (one-on-one leadership coaching covering crisis management and inclusive leadership skill-building).

The firm serves enterprise clients across Financial Services, Technology, Healthcare, Energy, Automotive, Media, Professional Services, Government, Real Estate, Entertainment, and Retail, with named logos including Toyota, Salesforce, Shell, BNP Paribas, KPMG, IBM, Google, Medtronic, Mastercard, Kraft Heinz, the United Nations, Gilead, Janssen, Hearst, Zillow, Epic Games, Pegasystems, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Universal Music Group, and L'Oreal. Delivery is sales-led, project-based, and quote-based, executed by a team of named senior consultants each carrying specific industry and client credentials rather than via a software platform. The founder, President, and CEO is Jennifer Brown; the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer is Nabeel Ahmad; the Vice President of Inclusive Organizations is Elfi Martinez; and the bench of Senior Consultants is organized by industry vertical.

The business model is professional services revenue from consulting engagements, with no software product, no API surface, no AI/ML capabilities, and no disclosed pricing structure. Geographic reach is described as global, anchored in the United States. The firm operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range per firmographic data, with roughly ten named consultants visible in the source material. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, partnerships, regulatory milestones, or restructurings in the available data; the principal recent corporate action reflected is the rebrand from Jennifer Brown Consulting to changeforce.
