No matter how big or small a task is, Postlethwait is certain to bring expertise to the table. Her multi-faceted skill set is how she’s quickly risen through the ranks during her career, which began as a sales assistant for E! Entertainment and Comcast Networks. After Comcast was acquired by NBCUniversal in 2011, Postlethwait rose to the occasion as she shifted into marketing and oversaw client partnerships for the newly formed company, collaborating with brands such as Amazon, Subaru, Snapple, PepsiCo and more. Eventually, she was tasked with managing the strategic integrated marketing team across NBCU’s portfolio, taking on both linear and digital networks as well as Universal Pictures and Universal Parks. Her prowess was further recognized in 2021 when Fox Corporation chose Postlethwait to helm a new unit, where she’s entrusted with directing the company’s go-to-market messaging strategy across all channels and showcasing its value proposition for clients. “I always start with the client goals, understanding what success looks like and thinking through how that connects to Fox’s larger business priorities. That informs a north star strategy that aligns the Portfolio and provides our Partnerships teams the freedom to ideate creatively around priority initiatives while staying anchored to overall strategy. All designed to deliver results that drive real impact,” she says. Postlethwait’s impact isn’t only felt by Fox’s clients. She’s an advisor for the Fox Future Initiatives program, allowing her to offer guidance and experience to junior employees as they develop skills to grow. And they might want to take extra notes on Postlethwait’s versatility. “In marketing, there’s a constant need to be adaptable and flexible, both of which Jen has in spades,” says Joe Rockhill, Fox Corporation’s SVP, Ad Sales Marketing. “Whether flexing from project to project, juggling the multiple deliverables (seemingly all at once), managing and elevating team members or bringing new ideas to the table, she’s constantly flexing her superpower to adapt to what’s needed at that moment in time. Jen has a unique ability to ensure it ‘all gets done’ while making it all look so easy and effortless!”

“A good leader knows that any accomplishments are the work of a unit versus a single individual and Jen makes sure to give credit where credit is due. She strives to create an environment of inclusivity, where everyone’s thoughts are not only heard but welcomed and encouraged. Jen has a bright future in front of her, but is equally working to develop the next generation of leaders in the industry.”
