E90: Jane Veron - The Desire to Give Back

After a career in management consulting, marketing and strategy,
Jane was determined to apply her professional skills to make an
impact in the local economy.  Jane saw both the need and the
opportunity:  The need arose from small businesses with
great ideas and passion but a lack of resources and expertise.
 The opportunity existed in the enormous pool of
professionals who had a strong desire to redeploy their business
acumen.   She built TAP to harness the untapped
potential of both small businesses and local professionals.


Jane is mission-driven, seeking to mobilize women for economic
impact, and merges her business acumen with her management,
coaching, public sector and nonprofit work. Prior to TAP,
Jane spent her career in strategy and marketing, working at Bain
& Company, American Express, and as an independent
consultant.  She also has experience in private equity
and venture capital as an investor and board
member.  

Jane currently serves as a Scarsdale Village
Trustee.  She has also held civic leadership positions
as Chair of the Scarsdale Planning Board, President of the League
of Women Voters of Scarsdale, Chair of SNAP, and President of the
Fox Meadow Neighborhood Association.  In recognition of
her sustained and significant impact on the community, she
received the Mayor’s Award for Exceptional Leadership the
Daily Point of Light Award granted by Points of Light, the
organization founded by President George H.W. Bush to recognize
volunteer service.

Jane has been a member of numerous boards and currently serves on
Harvard’s Women Leadership Board, the Harvard Business School
Alumni Board, the Regional Plan Association, the Scarsdale
Foundation, and the Yale Westchester Alumni
Association.  She is also a member of Golden Seeds and
Harvard Angels.  Jane earned a BA magna cum laude
from Yale University and an MBA with honors from Harvard Business
School.
