Jennifer A. Gutierrez, M.A.

President
JAG Consulting, Inc.

Quality. Invaluable. Inspiring. Used time and again to describe her work, these client comments describe over 25 years of results-driven consulting experience in the corporate, faith-based, non-profit, and public sectors.

President of JAG Consulting, Jennifer and her team are partners to churches, Catholic dioceses, apostolates, educational institutions, and faith-based organizations seeking to re-imagine their futures and increase their impacts through informed research, planning, and strategy.

A change-maker at heart, Jennifer’s regional and national client base includes clients such as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Archdiocese of Omaha, Students for Life of Madison at the University of Wisconsin; The National Palliative Care and Hospice Task Force; The Saint Paul Seminary; Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin; and other Catholic dioceses, schools, foundations, and pro-life organizations across the country. She devotes her apostolate to faithfully strengthening the institutions that draw our nation’s faithful closer to Christ.

JAG Consulting is also a founding member of 4 Pillars Collaborative, a 4-company strategic alliance that provides planning, architectural, fundraising and financing services to clergy, ministry leaders, and faith communities seeking to expand or build their churches.

Before she dedicated her counsel to serving faith-based clients, Jennifer led clients including US Bank, United Way, the National Guard, the State of Nebraska, and many others in strategic planning and communications. Her thoughtful and efficient approach has resulted in customer and revenue growth, inclusive board and staff engagement, and a realignment of her clients’ goals with their missions.

Early in her career, Jennifer was a lead advocate for the nation of Guatemala, attracting greater investment and tourism to a country recovering from civil war. As the head of public relations efforts for the Guatemalan Development Foundation (FUNDESA) in Guatemala City, she worked directly with the U.S. Embassy and the Associated Press to change the conversation, resulting in delegation visits from U.S. congressmen still active in international policy today.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Jennifer holds bachelor’s degrees in journalism and Spanish, and a master’s in political science with a specialization in international relations and human rights. She was a governor appointee to the Nebraska Commission on the Status of Women, and a mayoral appointee to the Lincoln Lancaster County Women’s Commission. She has served on numerous non-profit boards, including her current role as Vice President of the West Point Parents Club for Nebraska and Western Iowa, and as a current member of the Nebraska Catholic Conference Board. Jennifer was named by the Lincoln Journal Star three years in a row as one of 30 of the Most Influential Women in her city.
