Jennifer Thomas | Technology, Humanity, & Inclusive Leadership

Hi, I’m Jen.

I help organisations to lead with courage, curiosity, and compassion in an AI-shaped world.

Let’s Work Together

What I Do

I work at the intersection of people, technology, and identity.

My focus is helping organisations build inclusive cultures, navigate emerging technologies with confidence, and lead teams in ways that feel deeply human.

My work brings together strategy, storytelling, and lived experience to create meaningful, practical change.

Inclusive Leadership & Culture Talks

Empowering leaders to create workplaces where people can thrive.

Keynotes and talks that explore the realities of identity, inclusion, and authenticity at work; grounded in my lived experience as a transgender woman and my career in strategy and transformation.

AI, Ethics & the Future of Work

Human-centred conversations about emerging technology.

I help teams understand the practical and ethical impacts of AI, and how to lead confidently in a world shaped by rapid technological change.

Storytelling for Change

Using narrative as a catalyst for understanding, empathy, and impact.

I work with leaders to craft personal and organisational narratives that build trust, strengthen connection, and spark cultural transformation.

Strategy & Customer Experience Insight

Clear, actionable strategy shaped by human needs.

Bringing a decade of experience across CX, service design, and organisational transformation; including work with major Australian brands across retail, financial services, and education.

About Me

I’m a strategist, speaker, and storyteller based in Brisbane.

Eighteen months ago, I came out as transgender.

A moment that reshaped how I lead and how I show up at work. It taught me the importance of compassion, authenticity, and creating spaces where people feel safe to be themselves.

Professionally, I specialise in customer experience, digital transformation, and human-centred strategy; to solve complex problems and design more intuitive digital experiences.

Today, I bring together my lived experience and my strategic expertise: helping organisations lead with empathy while navigating AI, uncertainty, and change. I believe workplaces can be both high-performing and deeply human, and I’m passionate about helping teams build them.
