Accelerating VP+ Leaders to Rise, Evolve, and Build Lasting Legacies

BEHIND THE LEJenn Fenwick
Hi, I'm Jenn Fenwick—Executive Coach, Transition Strategist, and Creator of The Legacy Accelerator™
I support VP+ leaders through to first-time CEOs and global organisations through high-stakes transitions, career-defining moments, and the pivotal windows when leadership is most tested.
My journey into this work blends two worlds:
The sporting world, where I first learned the psychology of high performance, resilience, and the power of architecting the right support ecosystem around elite performers during career-defining moments.
And a successful corporate career, leading international teams and developing senior talent inside Fortune 500 organisations across Pharma, Biotech, and Tech—including serving as Global Talent Director at IQVIA.
Eight years ago, a personal pivot pushed me to go all in. I launched my practice with a mission: to close the critical support gap that sees 40% of leaders fail or derail within 18 months of high-stakes transitions.
But here's what I discovered through my research: It's not the first 90 days where transitions succeed or fail. It's months 3-9—the pivotal window when organisational support typically disappears, but when leaders need strategic thought partnership most.
That insight became the foundation for The Legacy Accelerator™—my proprietary framework for architecting the ecosystems VP+ leaders need to accelerate time to impact and build lasting legacy during five pivotal moments:
✦ Internal promotions to senior roles
✦ Leading transformation—AI, digital, organisational change
✦ Global moves and international assignments
✦ Onboarding senior external hires
✦ Parent returners stepping into expanded leadership
This isn't just coaching—it's strategic headspace designed for the moments that matter most.
I've partnered with organisations including PepsiCo, Takeda, Novartis, Pfizer, and IQVIA to support their most critical leadership investments. And I work directly with ambitious leaders who want more than "successful transition"—they want exceptional, legacy-defining performance.

What I stand for as a coach:
PERFORMANCE ECOSYSTEMS, NOT SOLO JOURNEYS
World-class athletes don't navigate career-defining moments alone. Neither should leaders. I architect the strategic support systems that enable VP+ leaders to accelerate time to impact.
MONTHS 3-9 MATTER MOST
Everyone focuses on the first 90 days. My research reveals that months 3-9 are where exceptional performance is forged—or where leaders plateau. That's the pivotal window where strategic thought partnership delivers the highest return.
SELF-LEADERSHIP AS FOUNDATION
Before you can lead others exceptionally, you must lead yourself. I work with leaders to build the self-awareness, agency, and internal capacity that enables them to leverage their ecosystem and navigate complexity with confidence.
EVOLVING IDENTITY AS ACCELERATOR
Your skills got you here. Your identity will determine what's next. Acceleration requires evolving who you are, not just what you do—stepping into the leader this new role demands, not staying who you were.
RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY, NOT JUST PERFORMANCE
World-class leadership requires strategic headspace—protected space that builds resilience, sustains wellbeing, and enables long-term exceptional performance. I don't just accelerate leaders; I architect the conditions for them to thrive sustainably.
LEGACY OVER SURVIVAL
Most transition support is designed to help leaders "not fail." I work with leaders who want more than survival—they want to build exceptional, enduring impact. We're not managing risk; we're architecting legacies.
