The Business Intelligence Group announced Provide’s Senior Director of Marketing and Culture Jess Ehler won the 2022 Executive of the Year award. This award recognizes individuals helping to build great brands and products at world-class organizations.

Ehler was hired in mid-2021 as Provide’s first-ever marketing leader. In her role, Ehler oversees the development, evolution, and implementation of Provide’s brand strategy across all internal and external touchpoints.

“When Jess joined our team, she was charged with building the Marketing team from the ground up,” said Provide Chief Business Officer Andrew Bennett. “Under her leadership, Provide has firmly established itself as the most compelling brand in the practice finance industry.”

In a little over a year, Ehler built Provide’s Marketing team, developed an industry-owned content engine, executed key strategic partnerships to complement the internal team’s capabilities, and helped build and maintain the company culture through community partnerships.

“Over the past 10 months, Jess showed all of us how creativity and business acumen can serve the client’s needs,” said Business Intelligence Group Chief Nominations Officer Maria Jimenez. “In this post-pandemic age, executives need to remain agile and open to all paths to effectively communicate.”

Ehler has over a decade of B2B and B2C marketing experience. Prior to joining the Provide team, she built and led marketing functions for some of the largest startups in Columbus.
