On any given day, Jennifer French, chief impact officer at Tapp Network, might be connecting nonprofits with digital tools, coaching entrepreneurs on strategy or shaping policies that expand access to innovation. Her calendar reads like a blueprint for change—measured not in meetings but in momentum. French doesn’t just talk impact; she engineers it.
She believes being true to oneself is the first step toward leadership. That authenticity is the compass that has guided her through the evolving landscape of social entrepreneurship and technology. It’s also what makes her Titan 100 Honoree recognition so meaningful—acknowledgment of the very values she’s built her work around.
The past year marked a period of deepened commitment and expansion. At Tapp Network, a company known for equipping purpose-driven organizations with digital strategy and communications tools, French has amplified both the reach and relevance of their work. While the broader team drove innovation, she safeguarded vision—ensuring the organization evolves with the needs of the people it serves.
French thrives on the frontlines of change, but her drive isn’t fueled by adrenaline. It’s rooted in community. She finds renewal by stepping out into neighborhoods and networks that remind her why this work matters. Every campaign and coalition she touches becomes part of a much larger mission: making transformation more accessible.
To her, fluency goes beyond language—it’s about empathy. If given the chance to master any skill instantly, French would choose to speak every language. That desire reflects her instinct to connect and translate across cultural and digital divides. She sees communication not as a barrier but as a bridge.
Among her proudest accomplishments this year was being named to the board of the Social Enterprise Alliance. The role enables her to shape national conversations on scaling social ventures and ensuring smaller organizations get the resources they deserve. She believes lasting impact is a collective project.
French’s approach to leadership has matured alongside her responsibilities. The past year taught her the value of knowing when to pause. Strategic silence, she says, often holds more power than immediate answers. It creates space for others to lead.
She is intentional about mentoring others, especially women navigating the intersection of purpose and technology. Her influence stretches beyond her title—visible in the confidence of young founders and the evolution of organizations she advises. For French, impact isn’t measured in clicks. It’s measured in outcomes.
Through the Titan 100 network, she has found kinship with leaders committed to shaping meaningful progress. For her, the platform is not about recognition—it’s about resonance. A place where shared purpose leads to collective elevation. A place where French continues to rise, with clarity and conscience.
