Jenny Rhodes, MBA

Manager of Learning & Development | Instructional Designer

I’m a Learning & Development leader focused on building scalable learning systems, leadership programs, and training that directly support business performance.

My work blends strategy and creativity—combining enterprise learning design with a background in visual storytelling to make complex topics clear, engaging, and actionable. I’ve led initiatives across onboarding, compliance, and leadership development, always with a focus on measurable impact.

I also leverage AI and emerging tools to streamline curriculum development and modernize how organizations create, manage, and apply knowledge.

At my core, I’m a builder—turning ambiguous challenges into structured, scalable solutions that teams can actually use.
