“I worked with Jenela at Paydock, where she was the Chief Product Officer. During that time, Jenela constantly impressed me with her leadership capabilities and her absolute dedication to the company and her team. As my direct manager, Jenela coached and nurtured me and my colleagues, personally helping me adjust from coming from very big companies to a small but rapidly growing Fintech, and the kind of mindset change that entails. She never shied away from tackling big issues head-on, and brought entirely new thinking to the company. Her team-building skills are second-to-none, and her lasting legacy at Paydock will be a rock-solid senior management team in the Product division, who have absorbed her drive, knowledge and tenacity. It was a real pleasure working for Jenela, and I hope our paths will cross again soon.”
