Jennifer Oomen
Director, Applied Innovation, Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter

Throughout my career I have worked with global organizations committed to finding high-impact, sustainable solutions to addressing the affordable housing deficit. My current exciting challenge is to focus on scaling the most promising ideas out of the Terwilliger Center and building Habitat’s technical excellence in a number of key themes including climate and gender. With over 15 years of experience in the international development sector, I successfully execute programs, build teams and solve tough challenges that use design and systems thinking.

Over the last 15 years I have studied, lived and worked in five countries in Southeast Asia, the US and Europe. I currently call the Netherlands home.
