Hypathia Consulting is led by myself, Jennifer Janson a German and English native speaker with over 15 years of experience in all areas of Finance, working with technology-focused B2C and B2B businesses from early growth through to large, complex enterprises.

As a founder myself, I understand first-hand the realities of building a company — balancing ambition with financial discipline, making decisions with imperfect information, and navigating periods of rapid growth and uncertainty. Alongside this, I have worked closely with numerous founders and leadership teams, acting as a sparring partner on financial strategy, growth planning, and funding decisions.

My experience includes supporting companies through critical milestones such as funding rounds, scaling phases, and transactions, as well as advising on the financial foundations required to grow sustainably. Over my career in Finance I have helped company’s grow by identifying their key business drivers, set-up models and build roadmaps for growth and expansions. Further to this I have dealt with multiple IPOs, buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions, as well as multiple equity and debt financing rounds, including venture capital and private equity fundraising, venture debt, corporate debt, bond issuances, and Schuldschein transactions.

Prior to founding Hypatia Advisory, I served as Corporate Finance Director, leading teams across FP&A, Controlling, Treasury, Investor Communications, Finance Systems and Process Optimization. In these roles, I combined strategic finance leadership with hands-on execution, supporting founders, executives, and boards as businesses scaled and financial complexity increased.

In addition to my technical expertise, my work is underpinned by extensive leadership experience and formal leadership training, enabling effective collaboration across functions, cultures, and seniority levels.

I hold an Executive MBA from Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Cologne Business School
