Join us as Tara Elwell Henning, co-founder and principal at Superkin, leads us in a discussion on Supporting Parents & Caregivers in the Workplace: Why it matters and how to advocate for yourself (and your team) with guest Jenny Sade, Chief People Officer, Executive Coach, and C-Suite Advisor.
Tara Elwell Henning is the co-founder and principal at Superkin. She has over 15 years of corporate and start-up experience at companies like Louis Vuitton, Walmart, and Narvar. As the first person to have a baby at a fast-growing start-up, she wrote the maternity policy and a spark was lit. Once a parent, she saw herself and a generation around her struggling to fit modern working families into the outdated corporate landscape and vowed to change it. Superkin is helping companies think beyond parental leave and modernizes programming and policies for parent and caregiving employees. Tara lives in the SF Bay Area (Marin Co) with her husband, two adorable young girls and an equally adorable black lab, Parker.

With 20+ years of experience in operational leadership and talent acquisition and development, Jenny is a highly sought after c-suite advisor and coach to forward-thinking, growth-oriented, values-driven businesses and executives.
Prior to launching her consulting practice, Jenny spent her career building People Operations teams and processes for both public and private companies, focusing on how to attract and retain the right talent, and setting them up for optimal success. Her roles have included supporting and coaching executive teams (collectively and individually) to guide business decisions, including moderating and leading vision setting and planning sessions. In her role as Chief People Officer and Chief of Staff at PLBY Group (the holding company that owns Playboy), she oversaw their growth from 130 to 1400 people, including 6 acquisitions, and taking the company public. Prior to PLBY Group, Jenny spent nearly a decade at RED (a successful digital agency acquired by William Morris Endeavor), helping to create a vibrant creative culture, tripling an employee base that worked with some of the most iconic brands in the world - ESPN, Under Armour, Disney, Samsung and many others.
Jenny thrives when working with high-growth organizations, merging companies, and within complex ecosystems to help make business challenges simple and actionable. Specializing in leadership training, talent management, succession planning, rapid hiring and sequencing, M&A integration, organizational design, DEI programming, inclusive benefit creation, talent attraction and retention strategies, employee lifecycle development, policy creation, and learning and development programs, Jenny approaches all talent challenges with grace, partnership and modernity.
Based in Los Angeles, when Jenny isn’t working or spending time with her husband, she can be found on her Peloton bike, binging reality TV, or listening to true crime podcasts.
