Client Testimonials

  • “Jaime not only brings subject matter expertise in social enterprise but also direct experience driving positive social change. She and her team were able to capture our values and priorities quickly, helping us build a strategy that was both customized to our unique needs and realistic to accomplish. Working with JRB Group means getting the best of both worlds: acute strategic thinking and a keen eye towards implementation that comes from their years of experience and connections in the field."

    — Brittany Butler, Social Innovation and Change Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School Center for Public Leadership

  • “Working with Jaime was a gamechanger for our organization. We were going through a major transition and trying to get some clarity around how we talk about our work. Jaime is incredibly sharp, creative, and able to see both the big picture and details. During our sessions together, she brought out the best in my team. And the result was messaging that was both authentic to our voice while also being new and fresh. We’ve gone through several branding exercises over the last few years, and this was hands down the best we’ve done."

    — Rey Faustino, CEO, OneDegree

  • “Jaime’s team heard, listened, and 'got' everything we were trying to say. They understood and were able to untie the knots we couldn’t see, creating a clean, crisp (amazing!) new brand without losing the things we loved about our old identity. Not only was our work with JRB Group worth every penny, but we can’t wait to keep working with them.”

    — Naomi Ackerman, Executive Director, Advot

  • "Jaime was a fantastic partner for taking our organization's ambitious vision and translating it into measurable strategies and action plans for our team. She excels at bringing clarity to uncertainty. Working with her means having another senior team member ready to jump in and get to work without the delay of onboarding. She brings a proven track-record of success in innovation along with essential knowledge of the Jewish nonprofit landscape. I could not recommend her highly enough!"

    — Eileen Levinson, Founder & Executive Director, Recustom

  • "JRB Group helped NewGround staff and board capture the essence of our work and the critical value we bring to the world at this important moment. The process JRB guided us through created space for us to think together and focus on the most important aspects of our work. Now, we have a blueprint for all of our communications, and we feel greater confidence in the way we describe our mission at a deeply challenging time for Jews and Muslims."

Their interactions with our board, staff and stakeholders were well-planned and productive, and they brought authenticity and creativity to the process, pivoting in new directions when necessary. Their deep collective experience in areas adjacent to our work made it easy for them to connect with our mission and organizational aspirations. For some of our more entrenched challenges, they exuded empathy and offered up recommendations to advance our planning work, lifting up a sense of possibility."

  • "Working with Jaime has been more than a pleasure - it's been an invaluable learning experience. As a group facilitator, Jaime took our group of relative strangers and helped us identify the real work we wanted to be doing with each other. With an eye toward concrete deliverables, she navigated different personalities and professional styles to help us hone in on our deeper personal goals while skillfully guiding our group to coalesce around shared intentions and outcomes.Jaime's extreme personability and EQ was clearly effective at creating a community mindset in our group. Her team-building skills and deep understanding of individuals make her a powerful facilitator -- not just delivering content, but building deep and authentic connections through a shared learning experience."

    — Ariele Mortkowitz, Founding Director, SVIVAH

  • "As a CEO, I'm always looking for tools to navigate the trade-offs and complexity of running a social enterprise. Jaime brings deep experience with strategy, talent, and branding and a strong background in conflict resolution and both/and thinking. I've seen her golden touch up close as she co-founded a conflict-transformation program, drove strategy on the most successful collaboration summit I've attended, and helped me think through important nuances in my organization's mission. Jaime doesn't sacrifice the process for the product and brings a sense of humor and candor that make it a joy to work with her."

    — Josh Feldman, CEO, R&R: The Rest of our Lives

  • "Working with Jaime to craft more sophisticated messaging that reflects our organization’s growth and impact has been a pleasure. Jaime listens intently, understands the nuances of our field, and intrinsically gets what we do and why we are relevant. She comes prepared, has a strong facilitator’s bent, and guides a seamless process to build consensus. She garnered respect from all levels of our team and continues to help us train our stakeholders to put our new messaging and communications approach into practice."
