Jessica Venuti
Co-Founder and Managing Partner

I am an amateur world traveler trying to go pro.

Jessica Venuti - Co-Founder and Managing Partner

I am a Hockey and Soccer mom to two of the most awesome kids I know, an amateur world traveler trying to go pro, and a cat mom, with dual Master's Degrees (MBA & MSOL). My dad was in the Navy for 20 years so he has been around the world. As a result, he'd bring me a souvenir from wherever he went. I thought it was so cool to have something from  another country.  Now, I love to travel, and I enjoy visiting new places and learning about different cultures. At Smarter Healthcare Partners, I operate behind the scenes and manage everything related to finance and accounting, as well as human resources.

I am a Gryffenclaw (Gryffindor/ Ravenclaw cross.

I love being the office mascot and snuggling my Lamb Chop plushies.

If money and time were no object: then I would probably still take naps with my stuffed Lamb Chops in the Smarter Healthcare Partners office. I like it here because sometimes the humans have parties and I get snacks.
