Testimonials
Callum Fletcher, Sr. Director of Global Gaming Operations, USO
“Jenn embodies what it is to work in the non-profit space. Not only is her personality as charismatic as it is engaging - but her ability to understand problems, creativity to find solutions, and commitment to seeing work through set her apart and make her an ally anybody would benefit from having on their team. We’ve had the pleasure of working with her directly for a few years - and during that time she consistently aligned her abilities and resources to fit our mission, leading to organic campaigns from conception to execution that truly created a difference and a positive impact not only for our clients, but our staff that had the opportunity to work with her.
I cannot recommend working with Jenn enough, and know that you will find an inspiring, engaged, creative teammate and leader who is truly passionate about doing good, well.”
Wonder Stormbreaker, former Head of Studio Marketing, Undead Labs
“I had the privilege of working with Jenn Panattoni during my time at Xbox, where she originated a key role building meaningful connections between Xbox, our first-party studios, and nonprofit organizations. Her leadership gave us the tools, best practices, and support we needed to design our own campaigns and ensure they had visibility and reach.
On a personal level, Jenn helped bring to life a multi-year partnership between Undead Labs and the American Red Cross. When I first shared the idea, it was little more than a concept. Jenn guided me through every step: introducing me to the right nonprofit partners, helping me navigate legal and compliance considerations, and connecting me with the right partners to amplify and grow the campaign for maximum impact. Thanks to her expertise and support, that idea became a lasting program with real world impact saving lives.
Jenn doesn’t just provide guidance, she actively champions the work. She celebrated our campaigns alongside us and made sure they reached the right audiences. Her integrity and commitment to impact ensured that every effort was thoughtful, effective, and aligned with the right partners. The campaigns we built with her support not only generated tremendous goodwill within our player community, but also strengthened morale across the studio as our teams saw the real value of putting others first.”
Senka Filipovic, Director of Corporate Partnerships, World Food Program USA
“Jenn has a remarkable gift for uniting corporate and nonprofit partners around a shared purpose. From leading global social impact initiatives that inspired gaming communities worldwide, to engaging employees through volunteerism and learning opportunities, she consistently brings people together to create powerful, high-impact activations.
I was fortunate to partner with Jenn during humanitarian emergencies, when her leadership brought urgency, compassion, and life-changing results exactly when they were most needed. For example, together we mobilized the Xbox global community to support humanitarian relief in response to the war in Ukraine and the devastating floods in Pakistan. In every case, Jenn navigated internal stakeholders swiftly and strategically while ensuring the process remained as seamless and low-burden as possible for the nonprofit partner. Jenn practices the gold standard of working with nonprofit partners!”

“Working with Jenn has been a transformative experience for our organization. Her approach to developing a gaming strategy has not only elevated our engagement efforts but amplified our creative vision that centers on inclusivity and community-building.
What sets Jenn apart is her ability to blend strategic thinking with imaginative design. She didn’t just support us in creating a gaming framework; she crafted an experience that invites participation from a wide spectrum of users, regardless of background, skill level, or familiarity with gaming culture. From the outset, Jenn helped us to emphasize accessibility, representation, and collaborative play, ensuring that every element of the strategy reflected our values and expanded our reach.
In terms of working style, Jenn is both visionary and grounded. She is highly collaborative, open to feedback, and consistently bringing fresh ideas to the table.

The campaigns we ran with her drove measurable impact while staying deeply connected to our mission. Jenn always pushed to be our best partner, making sure the work felt seamless and authentic on both sides.

Nouf Samarkandi, Corporate Partnerships Officer, International Fund for Animal Welfare
“Jenn is the epitome of social impact. Her energy and creativity never fail to amaze me, and it was a huge plus that wildlife and animal rescue were right up her alley. During the height of the Ukraine crisis, Jenn led outreach efforts that brought Xbox to the table, securing a $20k donation. This funding was part of a broader wave of support that helped provide food, veterinary care, shelter, and reunification for companion animals, making a tangible difference for both people and animals affected by the conflict.
Jenn is a true force for social impact, with a rare ability to turn bold ideas into results-driven campaigns. I look forward to collaborating with her again.”
Jason Leavey, Senior Director of Community at Bethesda
“You're always in great hands when working with Jenn Panattoni. We worked together across several highly successful social impact campaigns at Bethesda and Xbox. Our biggest was a campaign to celebrate the launch of the DOOM: The Dark Ages video game by partnering with select animal welfare organizations, raising money for animals in need. Jenn's expertise brought this campaign to life, appropriately titled "The Bark Ages."
Jenn had the idea to initially donate $32,000 to celebrate DOOM's 32nd anniversary, which netted each org $10,666 -- a very DOOM themed number. On top of that, we sold limited edition t-shirts with all net proceeds benefiting those non-profits, raising tens of thousands more for the animals. We worked closely with Jenn on the creative, which featured an armor-wearing corgi in place of our signature DOOM Slayer character, which spoke directly to DOOM fans and animal lovers alike.
Whether it was her work in establishing commercial co-venture agreements, helping with the overall execution, or coordination with our merchandise vendor to sell the shirts, Jenn drove every aspect of the campaign. That dedication made it incredibly successful both for the non-profits, and for driving word of mouth for our game. There is no better champion for bringing social impact campaigns to life than Jenn, and I look forward to working with her in the near future.”
Jess Finster, Senior Director of Community at Bethesda
“Having worked closely with Jenn Panattoni for several years, I can confidently say that no one is more dedicated to social impact. Through her efforts at Xbox, Jenn has reinforced positive change within our communities and brought awareness to humanitarian needs worldwide. I had the privilege of collaborating with Jenn on several activations and ideas for Fallout and Starfield. Her expertise and leadership were instrumental in our ability to organize incredible events with STEM students across the United States, as well las organizations like local humane societies. These are just a few examples of the remarkable impact Jenn has made”
Julie Muñoz Lowe, Senior Director of Marcom at Xbox
“Jenn is the real deal and a rare find. Her deep commitment to social impact and environmental stewardship is rare on its own, but combine that with her knowledge of (and connections with) nonprofits and you get a formidable partner and guide. Jenn is able to connect dots you didn’t realize were there to create unique and compelling programs that are true to your brand and resonant with your audience. She doesn’t stop there, though - her most valuable talent is the creativity that brings it all together into an imaginative, break through moment. Only Jenn could get me excited about maggots, introduce me to a mini horse and make me misty-eyed over athletes with intellectual disabilities all in the same year.”
Helene Imperiale, Sr. Director of CSR & Call of Duty Endowment Marketing
"Jenn is an inspiring leader—her passion for social impact, sharp strategic thinking, and overall approach to the work elevates every project and every team she touches."
Mikey Dowling, Senior Director of Communications and Franchise at Obsidian Entertainment
“Jenn is one the warmest and most wonderful people I have ever worked with. Her passion when it comes to social impact is inspiring. Her ability to come with original ideas is a gift. I can’t think of many people who care more about people than her outside of a small handful of characters from comic books. Jenn is the loving embodiment of the more recent, ‘Being kind is punk rock,’ social movement.”
Jason Coon, Director of Xbox Safety Operations
