Jennifer Ibbetson - Director of Operations
Jennifer joined Right Management almost 20 years ago, and in 2007 moved into Right Corecare. She began her career in the legal world and honed her project management skills as the Practice Manager for a large firm of architects building major commercial properties in the South of England. Keeping projects of this size on time and within budget proved to be a good grounding in both people and negotiation skills.
As Director of Operations, she has overall responsibility for the delivery of all of our services, overseeing our operations teams. Her experience as Director of International Accounts within Right Management is particularly useful, given the wide range of accounts and contracts she was responsible for across EMEA; it was in this role that she developed her expertise in quality management which resulted in the development of our ISO 9001:2008-accredited Business Management System.
