The founder
"I founded Vernare to be the operational partner I wish I'd had, someone who's built it, scaled it, and knows how to help it grow."

Led by an operator, not a bystander.

Vernare Strategy Group is led by Jessie Yankee, a serial entrepreneur who has built, scaled, and sold businesses and spent years championing women owned businesses across the country.

Before Vernare, she spent nearly a decade in senior strategic operations leadership in the small business ecosystem, working alongside founders at every stage. That combination of operator, strategist, and advocate is what she brings to every engagement.

The result is a firm built on a simple belief: with the right operational foundation, a good business can truly flourish.

Let's help your business flourish.

Tell us where you are and where you're headed. We'll bring the operations, strategy, and steady hand to get you there.
