Jennie Wilde
founder and managing director
Jennie excels at creating thematic marketing and PR campaigns, with a talent for distilling complex topics into compelling content. She is a high-energy problem solver, with a passion for making a difference.
Starting as a newspaper journalist and sub-editor, she moved into news & current affairs for independent TV. The UK government then commissioned her to promote British expertise.
She was head-hunted by global PR consultancy Burson‐Marsteller for its FMCG brands, using that expertise to set up Carver Wilde Communications.
Her business model changed after surviving cancer and experiencing first-hand the value of clinical science. Jennie survived thanks to an unknown laboratory scientist at London’s St Thomas’s Hospital. He found and identified a second primary tumour after initial surgery - and saved her life. As a thank-you, she now supports the unsung scientists in clinical research and labatory testing.
Jennie has formal marketing training and is a member of the Public Relations & Communications Association (PRCA) and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). Apart from theatre, films & ballet, her other passion is all things wood. Her Victorian cottage is a haven of wood flooring and antique furniture - and any free time is spent on repairs and restoration.
