Former Chief Revenue Officer brings a career scaling revenue organizations from the inside to advise technology companies on their most consequential leadership hires
PHILADELPHIA, PA — June 17, 2026 — True, the premier global executive talent platform powered by data, AI, and deep sector expertise, today announced the appointment of Jennifer Brannigan as a Partner in its Go-to-Market Practice. Based in Chicago, Jennifer joins True after a career spent building and running the revenue organizations she now helps clients hire to lead.
As Chief Revenue Officer at Korn Ferry Digital, ExecOnline and Pendo, Jennifer led all revenue and success functions including sales, account management, sales engineering, and professional services, and oversaw teams ranging from 100-400 people globally. Before that, as Global Head of Sales and Success for LinkedIn’s Glint, she scaled the business to $100M in ARR and led the GTM integration with Microsoft Viva. Earlier in her career, as LinkedIn’s Senior Director of Global Solutions, she built and ran a 400-person team across 22 offices responsible for the launch and growth of Talent Media and other strategic and disruptive products.
“Most search partners can describe what a great CRO looks like. Jennifer has been one. She’s managed $400M ARR businesses, rebuilt go-to-market motions mid-flight, and made the exact talent decisions our clients are now asking us to help them make,” said Sam McGrath, GM, Global Search at True. “When a founder is trying to determine whether a candidate can actually run a global revenue organization at scale, or a board is deciding whether their current leader can get them to the next stage, Jennifer can answer that question from lived experience. That’s a different conversation than most firms can offer.”
At True, Jennifer specializes in placing Chief Revenue Officers and senior go-to-market leaders across sales, customer success, marketing, and revenue operations. She partners primarily with founder-led and investor-backed software and technology companies at inflection points—where the difference between the right hire and the wrong one can determine whether a business scales or stalls. Her approach is built on the operator’s lens she developed leading revenue organizations from the inside, which means she can help clients get precise about what they actually need, not just what they think they need.
“I spent my career making the exact decisions my clients are now asking me to help them make. Who to hire, what the role actually needs to be, whether a candidate’s track record translates to this stage, this market, this motion,” said Jennifer Brannigan. “That context changes the conversation. I’m not pattern-matching against a job description. I’m a strategic partner who can push back on a spec, pressure-test a candidate’s experience, and help both sides figure out whether this is genuinely the right fit—not just the right resume.”
