About Jennifer Stango

I've been on both sides of the table.

For more than two decades I've worked across professional services, enterprise technology, and executive leadership — including roles as a CFO and Director of IT.

That background matters. It means I've advised leadership teams on high-stakes decisions and then lived inside organizations where those decisions had to actually work. I understand what happens when strategy meets execution, when vendor promises meet contracts, and when AI initiatives meet operational reality.

Most consulting is designed to generate the next engagement. Mine is designed to get you to a defensible decision as fast as possible — sometimes that's a single session, sometimes it's ongoing advisory work.

I started Forecast Unknown because leaders in manufacturing, life sciences, and healthcare kept facing the same problem: real pressure to act on AI and growth initiatives, without enough clarity to act wisely. I built a practice specifically for that moment.

• Independent, vendor-agnostic judgment
• Senior-level engagement without large team overhead
• Experience owning outcomes, not just advising on them
• Deep focus on manufacturing, life sciences, and healthcare

I also host the Forecast Unknown podcast — clear, practical conversations on AI and decision-making for leaders. No hype. No demos. Just honest insight on what to prioritize, what to ignore, and how AI actually impacts execution.
