Jennifer Livingston Huber, President & Chief Catalyst
An expert facilitator and organization development consultant, Jennifer partners with her clients to tap the knowledge and energy of their people to create real business results.

She spent the early part of her career focused on generating top-line growth in the publishing business through various roles in business development and sales management. Recognized for her creative and collaborative problem-solving, she was selected and trained to be an internal facilitator for a large-scale business transformation at Thomson Reuters. As part of their internal organization development team, she contributed to the success of a number of high-stakes change efforts there, including operational process improvements and the integration of acquired businesses.

Now an independent consultant, Jennifer has facilitated client groups which:

Turned around a troubled business unit, mediating long-standing conflicts between sales, technology and management
Diagnosed and addressed problems in a client’s product development lifecycle, ultimately increasing speed to market
Used lessons learned from a difficult product launch to improve project management operations
Discovered previously unexplored areas of commercial opportunity within a chaotic market segment

Jennifer believes that engaging people with a diversity of experience, opinion and points of view not only yields great decisions, it’s hands-down the best way to make sure those decisions actually get implemented. She approaches her work with passion and – wherever possible – a sense of fun.

Jennifer graduated from the University of North Carolina with a B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication. She has also acquired extensive professional training from such leaders in the fields of organizational dynamics and group facilitation as Ian MacDougall and Bob Marshak.

She lives in downtown Philadelphia with her two children and enjoys all that the city has to offer, from hikes in Fairmount Park to museums and galleries to live music in venues both large and small. She supports the local arts community through her work with Business Volunteers for the Arts and is actively involved in her kids’ schools, sports and extracurriculars.

Jennifer is a member of the Organization Development Network, the International Association of Facilitators, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and Center City Proprietors Association.
