Jen Purnell and Kearney Group. Kearney Group and Jen Purnell. Some things just go together and we have… for more than 25 years.

Jen joined the team in 2014, after working closely with us over 16 years as the State Manager at BT Financial where she was BDM to financial services firms across Victoria and Tasmania.

As our Business & People Development Manager, Jen wears multiple hats and tackles her responsibilities with a contagious energy. She’s the master of two important domains. Firstly, she’s the go-to person for all things team-related. From hiring and induction to training and development, Jen is a talent magician, making sure we have the best people on board.

But that’s not all—Jen’s second superpower is her ability to connect with clients. She’s a pro at working with newcomers to understand their hopes and dreams, and match them with a perfect advice team.

Beyond formal MBA qualifications and a wealth of professional experience, Jen’s also the ultimate pulse-reader when it comes to cultural vibes. She’s a natural leader and bridge-builder, a collaborator and cheerleader for others. So it’s no surprise that she was warmly welcomed as an equity partner back in 2016.
