Jennifer has deep marketing and business management expertise in the Financial Services industry. She began her marketing career in New York City at American Express, partnering with merchants who accepted the card to build market share and profitability. She then joined Merrill Lynch where she led teams focused on marketing financial planning and retirement services to High Net Worth clients, with a specific focus on the Baby Boomer segment. In 2012, she came to Texas to join USAA. She was responsible for defining the advice we give to military members and their families in ways that build their financial security through customized advice and planning tools. Business lines she supported during that time included Retirement Planning, Wealth Management, holistic financial advice, P&C and Life insurance.
