Jenna Oviedo, CEO & Founder
Jenna was raised by two entrepreneurs who ran multi-million dollar businesses out of the home, which inspired a career working with start-ups and small-to-medium businesses. After graduating with her MBA from The University of Texas, Jenna led Whole Foods’ Local Producer Loan Program and was an integral part of the retailer’s investing activities. After roughly six years at the Whole Foods, Jenna joined plant-based milk manufacturer, MALK Organics, where she led the finance team through significant change, including: triple-digit growth, opening a second manufacturing facility, launching products into new categories, channels and countries, supporting the company’s largest fundraise, and improving deductions by nearly 9%. In February 2020, Jenna was called to follow her own entrepreneurial spirit to help multiple companies better understand their deductions. Outside of work, Jenna spends most of her time outdoors with her young family, husband Danny, son Elijah (born 2018), son Rome (born 2019) and daughter Lottie (born 2023)
Jenny Remlinger, Account Manager
Jenny rounds out Team JAVE with several years in accounting departments at food CPG and hospitality companies. Jenny has lead accounting teams through some of their toughest, cash-stretched periods; those trying experiences bring empathy and determination to the deduction management process. After hours, you can find Jenny rock climbing or helping with her family’s seasonal hotel just outside of Reno.
