Jenny Garrett OBE began life in social housing in North West London, with an early commitment that where you start should never limit where you arrive. Two decades on, she is the founder and CEO of Jenny Garrett Global, the award-winning leadership consultancy she started in 2006 and still leads. Her belief is simple: potential is everywhere, but opportunity is not, and the work of leadership is to close that gap. It is a promise borne out by results, with 35%+ of participants promoted during her programmes and 98% recommending them.
Jenny’s work spans three connected pillars: Inclusive, Entrepreneurial and AI-Ready Leadership. She is the author of the bestselling “Rocking Your Role” and “Equality vs Equity,” and, with her daughter Leah-Sunshine Garrett, co-author of AI for Equity (Emerald Publishing) and co-host of the podcast of the same name. She holds an OBE for services to entrepreneurship and women in business, and is a Companion of the Institute of Leadership and Management, its highest honour.

Jenny Garrett OBE began life in social housing in North West London, raised by her mum, with an early conviction that where you start should never limit where you arrive. Two decades on, that belief has become a body of work. She is the founder and CEO of Jenny Garrett Global, the leadership consultancy she started in 2006 and still leads, independent, twenty years later.
Her premise is simple and stubborn: potential is everywhere, but opportunity is not, and the work of leadership is to close that gap. It is a promise she can evidence. Her signature Tri-Level methodology develops emerging talent, their managers and their senior sponsors in parallel, so change holds rather than fades, and the results follow: 35%+ of participants are promoted during her programmes, and 98% recommend them. Across twenty years the firm has delivered over 10,000 coaching hours and reached audiences on six continents, including two TEDx stages.
Jenny’s work sits in three connected pillars, Inclusive, Entrepreneurial and AI-Ready Leadership, one belief expressed three ways: that leadership has to keep evolving to meet the moment. She is the author of the bestselling “Rocking Your Role” and “Equality vs Equity,” and, with her daughter Leah-Sunshine Garrett, co-author of AI for Equity (Emerald Publishing) and co-host of the podcast of the same name, a rare intergenerational partnership examining how AI can build a fairer society.
Her contribution has been widely recognised: an OBE in 2021 for services to entrepreneurship and women in business, and appointment as a Companion of the Institute of Leadership and Management, its highest honour. She founded the UK’s first Diverse Executive Coach Directory and co-founded the social enterprise Rocking Ur Teens CIC, which has reached over 3,500 young people. Twenty years in, she is, in her own words, just getting started.
