Deliver the Results that Matter
Aligning Leadership Development, Strategy & Organizational Culture
Three Pillars for Results that Matter
Leadership
Leaders at every level of your organization must possess top-notch people management skills that deliver results with effective coaching, delegation and accountability.
Culture
Results rely on an organizational culture that makes high performance possible. Good strategy withers without a cohesive culture led by all leaders walking the talk.
Strategy
Sharp strategies cut through complexity by grounding decisions in realistic choices about what’s doable—empowering leaders to focus their energy where it matters most.

Jen Billig
Jen Billig (she/her) is the founder and CEO of Align Consulting.
After more than 20 years in this work, Jen is still driven by the same conviction: you can’t deliver sustainable results without being a good place for people to work. Technology’s impact is huge, but meaningful outcomes still depend on people—how they treat each other and come together to act, how they’re led, and whether they can make smart choices among competing priorities.
Jen helps organizations get this right by becoming a trusted advisor. She excels at connecting the dots across complexity and finding the leverage points that make change actually happen. Working across strategy, leadership development, and culture change, she tailors every engagement to what clients really need—no cookie-cutter approaches here. Jen collaborates with consultants from across disciplines to deliver outstanding service to her clients.
Jen is a proud Minnesotan who does not like winter. She is based in the Twin Cities, though her work isn’t bound by geography. Jen is a Qualified Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory, a Certified Consultant for the BrainStates Awareness Profile©, and a coach trained by the Coaches Training Institute. She’s also an instructor of embodied meditation practices, trained in Zen and Tibetan Buddhist lineages over 20 years.
When she’s not working, Jen strives to find the sacred in the mundane through time and creativity in nature, travel, cooking, or with her hands in the dirt. She’s a haphazard gardener who grows a few vegetables and a bunch of flowers in spite of herself.
Jen holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School and was a Bush Leadership Fellow. Since an early professional experience running a conference about income inequality, Jen’s always been guided by a commitment to creating a better world where prosperity, justice, and happiness are available to everyone.
