Jen Eckhardt

Jen Eckhardt sees what most CEOs building professional services firms can't: the structural patterns that turn success into a cage. As President of Entrepreneurial Freedom, she specializes in transforming founder-dependent businesses into companies that run without their owners.

She doesn't serve clients—she builds alongside them. She combines the vision of a strategist with the precision of an operator, enabling her to solve problems before they surface. With an educational background in psychology and over two decades of leadership experience, she evolved from corporate roles to founding a virtual assistance agency, to Fractional COO, to the strategic advisor CEOs turn to when they're ready to become optional.

Through The Premium Index™ diagnostic and OpsFreedom™ methodology, her clients achieve measurable outcomes: 40% YoY revenue increases, 42.6% capacity improvements, 90-95% reduction in CEO operational involvement. Years after engagements end, she remains the first call CEOs make.


Jen Eckhardt is a distinguished member of the CEOWORLD Magazine Executive Council. You may connect with her through LinkedIn or official website.
