After completing undergraduate studies in Business at the University of Toronto and while completing graduate studies in Adult Education at Central Michigan University, Jess began her career in financial services, holding several senior management positions in a number of divisions with one of Canada’s largest banks. There she was one of the pioneers of a program aimed at providing emerging leaders with cross-divisional and leadership competency development opportunities.

Drawing on 15 years experience of strategic and operational leadership, Jess joined the IT Consulting firm, Mantralogix, in 2011, where she was a key part of the leadership team that oversaw tripling of top line growth in just seven years. Under Jess’ leadership, Mantralogix was named by the Mississauga Board of Trade as the 2015 Small Business of the Year and the 2016 Employer of the Year.

Passionate about Corporate and Social Responsibility, Jess and her husband, Kerry, founded the Randeep Grewal Memorial Scholarship to support students in the Digital Enterprise Management Specialist program, in memory of Jess’ late brother. The University of Toronto awarded Jess with the Arbor Award in 2018 – their highest award for volunteerism.

Jess and Kerry were selected by the Women of Influence as a Canadian Dynamic Duo in 2015 for successful co-gendered leadership. Jess is an active mentor and life coach who describes herself as a ‘lifelong’ learner. Along with completing Yoga Teacher Training certification, Jess is a certified Life & Executive Coach and is focused on physical, mental and emotional wellness in and out of the workplace.

Jess joined MNP as a Partner as part of the Mantralogix merger in July, 2019. Retiring in July 2021, Jess continues to offer support as part of the Executive Coaching team at MNP as well as Life Coaching services to individuals looking to move from surviving to thriving!
