Jenny Leavitt
Marketing Director
Jenny Leavitt has spent the better part of a decade building brands that connect people to something bigger than a product. Since founding her marketing agency in 2018, she's worked across industries from helping authors reach bestseller lists to scaling personal development brands and ad agencies, always with the same belief: the right story, told to the right people, changes things.
Joining ETA felt like a natural next chapter. Jenny believes in what happens when sharp, motivated people get in the same room: the ideas that surface, the connections that form, the problems that finally get solved. That's exactly what ETA is built for, and exactly why she's here.
