Why "Jupiter's Trajectory"?
Our name blends professional purpose with personal heritage. Jupiter traces back to Gioi, the small Italian town where our founder’s family originates. Gioi derives its name from ‘Jove’—or ‘Giove’ in Italian—another name for the Roman god Jupiter. This connection to heritage reminds us that even the most forward-looking organizations are strengthened by honoring their origins and foundational values. With this mindset, we help organizations carry the best of their history forward, combining roots with vision to propel their mission ahead.
Beyond this personal connection, the name captures the essence of our specialized approach for mission-driven organizations:
Mission Amplification: Jupiter's influence extends far beyond its own space. Similarly, we help your small or medium-sized organization extend your mission's reach beyond what might seem possible with your current capacity.
Purposeful Direction: A trajectory is a deliberate, calculated path. We help translate your organization's purpose into a clear operational roadmap that maximizes your limited resources.
Protective Force: Just as the planet Jupiter's massive gravitational field protects the inner solar system, we help shield your mission from operational inefficiencies that drain resources and dilute impact.
Our Commitment
Unlike traditional consulting firms that rely on prepackaged frameworks, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing smaller mission-driven organizations. With experience across industries and organizations of all sizes, we design solutions that are right-sized, strategic, and built to last.
Our approach is:
Right-sized: Solutions that match your actual capacity and resources
Implementation-focused: Practical strategies you can execute with existing staff
Budget-conscious: Maximizing operational impact while minimizing costs
Mission-protective: Preserving your organizational values and culture
A Note from Our Founder
I’m Jennifer Amoroso Heiss, founder of Jupiter’s Trajectory Consulting. I bring 15+ years of experience leading strategic operations and transformation across sectors like health sciences, higher education, and mission-driven nonprofits. My focus is simple: help leadership teams cut through complexity, align strategy with execution, and build systems that actually scale.
Before launching Jupiter’s Trajectory, I held leadership roles at Bristol Myers Squibb and Princeton University—driving initiatives that saved millions, improved team performance, and replaced outdated workflows with smart, efficient systems. I’ve led global operational excellence programs, ERP transformations, and enterprise-wide process improvements. I know how to navigate both the boardroom and the weeds, and I’m not afraid to challenge the status quo when it’s holding organizations back.
I hold an MBA in Finance from Rutgers and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, but more importantly, I bring a pragmatic approach to helping teams move faster, work smarter, and stay aligned on what matters most.
Your mission matters. Let's create the operational trajectory to maximize its impact.
