Born in Chicago, standing six feet tall, Jennifer Wisniewski has always been one to walk her own path. As an entrepreneur at a young age, she turned her stature into an opportunity, beginning a successful modeling career that would lead her down runways for industry icons like Isaac Mizrahi, Donna Karan and Oscar de La Renta. When home from traveling, she worked in hospitality, eventually assisting some of Chicago's most hospitable in their personal restaurant and bar endeavors.
After giving birth to a blue eyed girl named Stella, Jennifer settled back on Chicago’s Northwest side. As an avid lover of dining out, she quickly recognized a need in her own neighborhood and wanted to take action. She opened Bread & Wine to critical acclaim, receiving two stars from the Chicago Tribune in its first year. The vibrant new restaurant sparked a dining revival on the Northwest side, ingraining in her the lessons of hospitality only an owner can learn. The restaurant proudly served the city for six wild years until its bittersweet closing led Jennifer along another path.
Using her unique know-how in fashion and hospitality, she walked into the role of executive, crafting a position as Director of Operations within SIX4 Creative, a solutions agency in her home city. In her first year at the agency, Jennifer became an equal partner, tasked with leading the operations and expansion of the company. Leaning on her own experience, she later co-founded a foundation with her business partner called A Leg Up, with a mission to “provide short-term relief for mothers with long-term goals.”
After starting multiple businesses, she has refined a set of practical solutions and tools to guide others to reach their full potential. In 2019 she became a certified life coach and created LET'S FACE IT: A GUIDE TO FEAR LESS to empower entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners, and professionals to be fearless when making decisions. She spends free time with Stella, lives for movies, meditation—and is currently in the process of becoming a better vegan.
