Francie Jain, Soft Skills are the New Hard Skills
Manage episode 519499589 series 1932834
Francie Jain is the founder and CEO of Terawatt, a B2B coaching marketplace on a mission to make professional development scalable, affordable, and accessible across every level of an organization. With a career spanning hedge fund marketing, entrepreneurship, and leadership development, Francie brings a unique blend of strategic insight, business acumen, and deep commitment to human potential.
Before launching Terawatt, Francie founded Nxt Chptr, a community designed to support
individuals navigating career transitions. Her first venture, West River Partners, was a third-
party marketing consultancy through which she raised nearly half a billion dollars in institutional capital for emerging markets-based hedge funds.
Francie’s transition from high-stakes finance to human-centered development was sparked by a realization: high-achieving professionals often lack the coaching and support necessary at pivotal moments in their careers. Through Terawatt, she’s changing that narrative—empowering businesses to reduce turnover, improve performance, and build resilient teams through targeted group coaching and expert-led development.
A graduate of Princeton University (A.B.) and The University of Chicago Booth School of
Business (M.B.A.), Francie is passionate about reframing leadership, democratizing access to learning, and helping organizations invest wisely in their most valuable resource: their people.
