Jenni is Partner and Director at Click Ventures - a Singapore and Hong Kong based Single Family Office (SFO) investing in Emerging seed-stage VC funds globally.

Prior to becoming a Family Office, Click Ventures first operated as an emerging, top performing VC firm for close to a decade. Today, as a Single Family Office, Click Ventures no longer fundraises or takes on outside capital, but focuses on investing as a value-adding LP, and supporting new VC fund managers and “fund-entrepreneurs”.

Jenni joined Click Ventures as its newest and impact driven partner in 2021. She has been named Northern Star / Young Leader by European Business Leaders Convention (2023), and Top Innovator by World Economic Forum and Uplink (2022), and speaks in various technology, LP/GP, sustainability and family office events.

Jenni is founder of Women in Tech Asia impact platform that launched in partnership with the National Research Foundation under the Prime Minister’s Office Singapore, and supported by top tech MNCs and 50+ partners including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, VISA etc.

WIT Asia’s annual events in Singapore brought together 4,000+ delegates from 30+ countries.

Jenni co-founded the Innovation and Sustainability Alliance (IxSA), and co-chaired the Nordic Female Business Angel Network NFBAN - member of the European Business Angel Network. From 2008 to 2012, Jenni worked in cross-border investments (PE, M&A) between Hong Kong, China and Europe, launching and then heading the HQ in Central Eastern Europe for a Hong Kong and China based trade and investment group.
