Top SchoolSpencer Jentzsch is a Senior Product Operations Manager and former CEO/founder with nine years in tech and 18 years in operations, known for translating strategy into repeatable execution across product, engineering, and business teams. He’s built operating models, managed complex dependencies, and led executive teams at startups and growth-stage companies, including a CEO role that navigated rapid growth and an exit. His background spans hands-on software implementation at scale, fractional COO work, and chief of staff responsibilities in climate tech, giving him a rare blend of tactical delivery and strategic planning. Spencer excels at bringing structure to chaotic environments—designing dashboards, decision frameworks, and cross-team processes that accelerate outcomes. Based in Madison, WI, he pairs operational rigor with storytelling (ask him about four summers catching bats), making him as effective in stakeholder alignment as in day-to-day execution.
