Improves healthcare clients’ performance across levers with a deep focus on delivering impact through consumerism in areas such as digital, analytics, insights, patient engagement, growth, retention, and experience

Jenny is focused on serving leading healthcare institutions (health insurers, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, and pharmacies) on strategic healthcare issues. Key areas of focus include consumer-driven impact (such as customer experience, acquisition, retention, digital, pricing, consumerism, and product differentiation), payer-provider pricing and collaboration including network design, and performance transformation. In her current role, she is a leader in the Healthcare Practice as well as our Growth, Marketing & Sales Practice, with a particular focus on B2C opportunities.

Jenny is a frequent and significant contributor to McKinsey’s research initiatives, having designed and led McKinsey’s Consumer Health Insights (CHI) research since 2006. Findings from this initiative provide healthcare organizations with deeper insight into consumer behavior and the decision-making processes, which are leveraged to improve business performance. She has published several McKinsey articles addressing the challenges and opportunities of applying consumer insights in the healthcare sector to deliver business performance and improved consumer experience.

Prior to McKinsey, Jenny’s experience was primarily focused within the aerospace industry as an aerospace engineer.
