As a Vistage Chair, one of my favorite parts of this work is hearing the stories of why leaders choose to join a peer advisory group. In this conversation, I sit down with Jessica Kenyon, CEO of The Conafay Group, to explore her journey into leadership and what led her to Vistage.
Jessica is a seasoned executive with more than 20 years of experience in advanced medical technology development and federal research. She’s advised Fortune 500 companies, universities, nonprofits, and defense leaders, and now she’s guiding her own team at The Conafay Group. But when she stepped into the CEO role, she knew she didn’t want to lead in isolation.
In our conversation, we’ll talk about what Jessica has discovered about the power of peer support, and why surrounding herself with other CEOs has become essential to her growth and her company’s success.
I’m looking forward to sharing Jessica’s story of leadership, resilience, and community — and showing how Vistage can change the way we lead.
