About
Carina Partners was founded by me, Jenna Goodward, in order to partner with teams seeking to profit by creating and growing mission-driven products. The mission for my work is to create positive change through product excellence.
During my career I have personally performed, and managed teams performing many flavors of product management. I have launched products from zero-to-one, and have grown revenue of mature product portfolios. I have built Data and Analytics products in B2B and B2C businesses, with a keen interest in ML and optimization. While I love advising and strategy, I never stray too far from hands-on action.
I have been operating and advising in clean energy and climate for over 15 years. There is always more to learn, but I have deep domain expertise in renewable energy, behind-the-meter solutions, energy markets, demand response, and ESG. My past clients and employers include Microsoft, Shell, Arcadia, Autodesk, CBRE, Calpine, EnerNOC, SunFunder, and the World Resources Institute.
I am a graduate of Scripps College with a degree in Environmental Economics, and earned an MBA at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business.
Working Together
Working together starts by deeply understanding your broader business and specific problems. From there, I’ll craft an action plan to deliver and measure results. While it is helpful to bring in a consultant for an outside perspective, I am deeply integrated with clients and work as a seamless extension of your team.
