Jill Steele

Jill is based in Prophet’s San Francisco office, where she directs corporate strategy and is responsible for leading the firm’s operational planning, quality assurance process and Prophet for Nonprofit program.

With plenty of training from her three young children, she believes that the key to any effective strategy is staying flexible and looking for growth opportunities in unexpected places. (Her favorite quote, in fact, comes from boxer Mike Tyson: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”)

She’s held management and training positions at Prophet, where she started as a brand strategy consultant. She’s also worked in a variety of marketing roles at Nissan Motor Corporation and Time, Inc.
Jill stays sane by following her passion for food and travel, taking her kids to more than a dozen countries, nibbling octopus, doughnuts and tofu along the way.

She earned her BS in International Business and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Georgetown University, and is proud to serve on the Board of the Contra Costa Food Bank.
