About this listen

 Silence online isn’t neutral anymore; it’s a risk you can’t afford. In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Jess Jensen, Founder and CEO of Co-pilot Communications, who is a former Fortune 500 leader who ran digital, social, and executive communications at Nestlé, adidas, Qualcomm, and Microsoft. Jess helps C-suite executives and founders present themselves online as authentic individuals—transforming leadership values into content that fosters trust, demand, and resilience. She shares why invisibility is dangerous, how to craft a durable leader brand, and what today’s LinkedIn favors beyond corporate PR blasts. Key Takeaways: → How leaders must go beyond wins and launches. → Why you should treat LinkedIn like a conversation, not a press wire. → How your should build your professional brand before you need it. → Why personal narratives matter to earn trust and recall. → How balancing business value with human moments is critical. Jess Jensen is the founder of Co-pilot Communications, a Portland-based advisory helping bold executives and founders build digital brands that actually sound like them. After 20 years inside Fortune 100 companies (Microsoft, Qualcomm, Nestlé, and Adidas), Jess stepped out of corporate to help leaders stop playing small online and start showing up with clarity and confidence. Co-pilot works with curious, values-driven leaders who are tired of generic content and ghostwritten fluff. Jess believes that building a professional brand isn’t just smart—it’s your moat. Through sharp messaging, editorial strategy, and smart use of platforms like LinkedIn and podcasting, she helps her clients earn trust and build rapport in places where their stakeholders already spend hours every day. Jess launched Co-pilot in 2024 to amplify the kind of leadership the world needs more of—clear, grounded, and human. She’s on a mission to help leaders take back the mic and shape their own narrative before someone else does.
