Jennell Jordan is Director, Business Solutions and Implementation at Katz Media Group.
How has working at Katz impacted your career?
Prior to Katz, I worked at Mediaocean, almost exclusively on television products. I didn't know a ton about radio, but needless to say, it didn't take long for that to change. I've had an opportunity to lead and work on a plethora of initiatives that, at times, seemed impossible to bring to fruition. Being instrumental in the process of transforming an idea into software that yields efficiency and increased revenue is pretty cool.
What advice would you give women entering the workforce now?
As an African American woman, sometimes you have to work twice as hard as your counterparts to earn a seat at the table - - keep grinding! Always speak up, but ensure your communication fosters positive change. Pay it forward! As we climb higher, it's our responsibility to reach back and lift another woman who's on the same path.
Share a "fun fact" about yourself!
I really hate flying, but I've been able to visit every continent except Antarctica.
Who or what is inspiring to you?
I'm a mentor for the youth group at my church, and I draw so much inspiration from one of my 10 yr. old mentees who's a cancer survivor, straight A student, and extraordinary dancer. She's such a great kid who has conquered so much during the first 10 years of her life.
What attribute or skill has helped you the most in your career?
My confidence, with just the right amount of humility!
