I’ve collaborated with Jeannette on a number of executive coaching and 360 feedback projects since 2015; initially when she was Managing Director, Emerging Markets at TUI and subsequently during her time as CEO, Tour Operating Division at Saga Plc, where her substantial positive impact and contribution during (and legacy following) her time in these roles has been widely recognised across all of Jeannette’s stakeholder groups.

Jeannette’s commercial acumen, energy and ability to get to the heart of the matter are notable and she has since followed her commercial instincts and passions by embarking on a successful portfolio career, spanning Board advisory assignments across the travel and leisure sector where she has acknowledged expertise and passion, portfolio property investment, impactful executive mentoring and stimulating podcasting. Jeannette is an inspiration and a notable woman in business.

For three years, since the PME MEA APAC Division's inception, Jeannette has been an indispensable partner and advisor to me, my ExCom, and the Extended

The exponential growth our division has experienced during our collaboration is significantly due to the strategic focus, leadership development, and high-

Reflecting on our achievements, Jeannette's unique approach, energy, and deep understanding of leadership and business transformation have been absolutely instrumental.

I can confidently say that Rise Academy, led by Jeanette, is by far the best learning platform I have used. The quality of the content, the resources, the structure of the information and the supportive learning truly set it apart from anything else out there.

Jeanette’s passion for teaching managers and entrepreneurs shines through in every detail, from how the material is presented, to the way she engages with learners. It’s clear she genuinely cares about helping people grow and succeed.

Thanks to Rise Academy, I have not only gained valuable skills, but it’s also allowed me to look at other aspects of my business in a different way. I highly recommend Jeanette and Rise Academy to anyone looking for a platform that delivers real results and an outstanding learning experience.
