Jennifer Walton is a strategic narrative consultant and the founder of the Sky Nile Narrative Development Studio, where she helps Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and public sector organizations transform how they're understood, trusted, and chosen.

With over 15 years leading brand strategy across Abbott Nutrition, Nationwide Insurance, and Columbus Regional Transit Authority, Jennifer has built a reputation for solving the problem many leaders don't want to name: their story isn't working for them. She specializes in developing proprietary narrative frameworks that align leadership teams, activate culture, and create measurable market differentiation.

Jennifer's talks blend strategic rigor with cultural intelligence, delivering actionable frameworks that audiences can implement immediately. She speaks on corporate storytelling, authentic leadership, and how organizations can build narratives that drive belief, action, and long-term impact. Her approach is direct, practical, and designed for leaders who are tired of visibility without results.

She also writes The C.O.D.E., a weekly newsletter on LinkedIn teaching career "cheat codes" to ambitious professionals navigating organizational life.

Jennifer lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband and two daughters where she serves on a number of Boards, such as Zora's House, Girls Health Period, and the Columbus College of Art and Design. Community building is not just a passion, but a priority for her as the co-founder of GroundxGrind, a community social hub in her city that brings together people and programming in a thirdspace that's thriving.
