Jeni Golomb is a speaker, a consultant, and a catalyst for what comes next. She’s built her career on knowing how to spot what matters, fix what’s broken, and drive real growth. A two-time CMO (Daisy Brand and Sodexo) and Harvard MBA with more than 20 years of experience, Jeni has led and revitalized iconic brands like Huggies, Altoids, and Slim Jim. Along the way, she’s earned awards like a Gold Effie, an ICX Award, and the CMO Club “Rising Star”—but what fuels her most is helping businesses (and people!) unlock their next level of success.
As the founder of GLASSBRKR, Jeni serves as a strategic partner and executive advisor to organizations ready to strengthen leadership, accelerate growth, and break through what’s holding them back.
I'm especially passionate about helping women break into the C-suite and thrive once they get there— without losing their sense of well-being. Through advising, consulting, and workshops, I help leaders and teams gain the clarity, confidence, and momentum needed to drive lasting impact.
I'm on the cusp of empty-nesthood, living in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and younger son, while her older son is off at college in Philadelphia. She finds her balance (literally) with daily hot yoga and is always ready for her next passport stamp.
When I returned from maternity leave after my first baby, I was determined to prove I could excel as a brand manager and be an amazing mom. I threw myself into my global role, working around the clock—leading calls at 5 a.m. while nursing my newborn and coordinating with Australia and China at midnight. But as the weeks went on, I found myself burning out. I wasn’t taking care of myself, and I was so exhausted that I couldn’t offer my best to my baby or the business.
Finally, I knew something had to change. I set new boundaries, stopped working after 7 p.m., and chose to focus on just 2-3 high-impact activities where I could truly drive results. This shift required intense prioritization and letting go of the “do it all” mentality I’d been clinging to.
The result? I achieved double-digit growth on the brand, received my best performance review ever, and was promoted within months—all by working less and focusing on what mattered. It was a powerful lesson in balancing ambition with self-care and proved that you don’t have to sacrifice yourself to achieve remarkable results.
Lesson learned: Doing 2-3 things with excellence is always better than doing 100 things with mediocrity.
My journey to the C-suite by the age of 39 wasn’t a straightforward climb; it was a test of resilience, adaptability, and strategic choices. Throughout my career, I encountered challenges and setbacks that could have derailed me. I faced the bias that often holds women back, felt the sting of being passed over for promotions, and wrestled with the need to prove myself at every level. But I was determined to break through each barrier and turn every obstacle into an opportunity for growth.
Along the way, I developed strategies that became my success blueprint: setting crystal-clear goals, prioritizing high-impact actions, and building a support network of mentors and allies. I learned to advocate for myself, take risks, and, at times, challenge the status quo. These strategies not only helped me rise through the ranks but also became the foundation of GLASSBRKR, where I now help other women leaders overcome obstacles and accelerate their journey to the top.
I’m passionate about sharing my story because I believe every woman deserves the tools, confidence, and support to succeed on her terms. I know firsthand that breaking through barriers isn’t easy—but it’s possible, and it’s worth it. Today, I help other women make their mark in the workplace, whether they’re working toward their next promotion or navigating the unique challenges of leadership.
The following is a compilation of comments received at the end of presentations and speeches:
"Jeni is engaging, inspiring and eye opening."
"I really enjoyed your Confidence Reboot—I really needed it that day in particular! It was quick, efficient, and effective! 😊"
"Today I attended a highly effective course on Confidence building conducted by Jeni. I would never have guessed that such a course could have this significant of an impact in just 60 minutes, especially on such a simple yet complex subject, but it did. Jeni built these guidances with passion and thoughtfulness, to include through personal life experiences she has gone through. These character traits are what truly make someone an expert in whatever field they are in, and Jeni is a SME on self awareness, self realization and ultimately self improvement. I highly recommend investing in Jeni's work for anyone or any company that wants to improve their brand and/or themselves."
"Jeni’s breadth of business knowledge makes her an invaluable resource. There is seemingly no problem she hasn't dealt with in her impressive career."
Confidence isn’t magic—it’s science. In this workshop, we break down what research reveals about how confidence is built, maintained, and (most importantly) regained when it slips. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and real-world executive experience, we’ll demystify why self-doubt creeps in—especially for high-achieving professionals—and show you exactly how to rewire your brain for self-belief.
Ideal for rising and established leaders alike, this session combines insight with action: expect thought-provoking prompts, simple behavior shifts that make a big impact, and a personalized plan to help you lead with clarity and conviction. You’ll leave with practical tools to quiet the inner critic, shift your internal narrative, and step into your next challenge with grounded, unshakable confidence.
Takeaways:
Understand the neuroscience behind confidence and self-doubt
Practice reframing thoughts using science-backed techniques
Learn how to “borrow” confidence when you don’t feel it yet
Build daily habits that reinforce a strong, grounded presence
Let’s be real—balance is a myth, and burnout isn’t a badge of honor. In this session, we tackle the modern-day juggling act with humor, real talk, and a fresh approach to sustainable success. Perfect for high-performing professionals who are great at delivering for everyone but themselves, this workshop helps you redefine productivity, reclaim your time, and build habits that fuel your energy instead of draining it. Expect a mix of neuroscience-backed strategies, powerful reflection prompts, and time-saving tactics you can start using today.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the climb—it’s knowing where to go next. Whether you're exploring new opportunities or craving more meaning in your current role, this workshop helps ambitious professionals design a career that feels both strategic and aligned. With Jeni’s expert guidance and a series of reflective, future-focused exercises, you’ll connect the dots between your strengths, values, and goals to chart a smart, fulfilling path forward. Ideal for anyone at a crossroads or coming off a major transition.
Takeaways:
