Jennifer Iverson is an executive coach and leadership advisor who helps accomplished leaders navigate the moments that shape who they become.

 

With more than 20 years of experience in technology, automotive and media, Jen understands leadership from multiple vantage points: as an executive coach, an organizational strategist, a senior HR leader, and a builder of leadership development practices. Her work combines candor and compassion with an ability to recognize the patterns beneath complex organizational and interpersonal challenges.

​

Jen currently serves as Executive Coaching Practice Leader at Amazon, where she is building the strategy, standards, and infrastructure for a world-class coaching practice. Her work focuses not simply on providing coaching, but on creating the conditions for meaningful leadership development—helping senior leaders expand their capacity, exercise sound judgment, and navigate complexity, ambiguity, and increasing scope.

Earlier in her career, Jen served as an HR leader supporting senior executives in Amazon Web Services. She later became Amazon’s first internal executive coach and helped develop the company-wide leadership program and internal coaching practice for Directors and Vice Presidents. She subsequently joined Rivian as a senior HR leader, supporting the company through its transition to a publicly traded organization and the production of its first electric vehicles.
 

Jen’s coaching is grounded in the belief that leadership development is not about conforming to a prescribed model. It is about becoming more fully and consciously yourself. Through strengths-based coaching, thoughtful challenge, and deep pattern recognition, she helps leaders uncover blind spots, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, and lead with greater clarity, courage, and humanity.
 

Her broader intellectual work explores moral formation inside organizations - particularly how hierarchy, power, culture, and psychological safety influence leaders’ judgment, courageous voice, and ability to act ethically. As artificial intelligence makes information and technical answers increasingly accessible, Jen is especially interested in how organizations can develop the distinctly human capacities of discernment, wisdom, and moral courage.
 

Jen holds a Master of Industrial Relations from Queen’s University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University.
