With over 15 years of experience in finance and operations, Mr. Jennings will utilize his diverse experience to creatively solve operational challenges, capitalize on financial opportunities, and help scale Illuminas for future growth.  As CFO/COO, he will lead finance, accounting, and operations teams as well as drive M&A activity for Illuminas.

I left Illuminas to grow my knowledge and experience as a CFO and COO, and I could not be happier to rejoin Illuminas as they accelerate on their journey.” 

Illuminas CEO Jay shutter remarked that Mr. Jennings’ experience in finance and operations aligns perfectly with where Illuminas is on their growth path. “The insights industry is experiencing pockets of hyper-growth in the midst of steady growth in core research practices.
