ABOUT
Jennifer Johnson founded Olivia Clarke Homes, one of the nation's first female-led homebuilding companies, in 2020.
The brand builds homes from the perspective of women, who influence more than 90% of homebuying decisions today (think smart storage, homes that live 25% larger, and sightlines for multitasking moms).
Jennifer has landed Olivia Clarke Homes in the most coveted North Texas communities alongside the nation’s largest builders. In 2025, she successfully sold the company, while maintaining her company’s brand integrity and unique positioning.
Today, she serves as President of Olivia Clarke Homes, and is a sought-after keynote speaker, panelist, and consultant for individuals and organizations that want to elevate women in leadership and adopt new perspectives.
SPEAKING
TOPIC 1
Entrepreneurship
and
Founder Identity
Entrepreneurship changes more than your career; it can change your identity. As a founder, Jennifer shares practical insights on delegation, trust, systems, investing, and knowing when to let go. She also explores the conversations many entrepreneurs avoid: when your business becomes your identity, how to lead through uncertainty, and who you are with, through, and beyond the company you build.
TOPIC 2
Overlooked Leaders and the C-suite Pipeline
Elevating leaders should come down to one thing: picking the best person for the job. Jennifer challenges organizations to rethink how they identify and develop high-potential leaders, particularly women and other overlooked talent. She explores how access to operational leadership, P&L ownership, and strategic risk creates C-suite-ready executives.
TOPIC 3
The Future of Home Through the Female Lens
We've spent decades designing homes around square footage and status. While beautiful finishes matter, today's buyers are looking for homes that reduce the mental load of running a household. By bringing the female perspective to the forefront, Jennifer challenges homebuilders to rethink what makes a home livable today.
CONSULTING
Individual Consulting
Coaching for women navigating leadership transitions, career architecture, and negotiating the next move.
Business/Organizational Consulting
How to identify and develop overlooked talent, improve culture and talent retention, and product/positioning from a woman's point of view.
PRESS
Building a brand, a buyer, and a business that breaks the mold
In a fast-paced, 15-minute conversation, Jennifer Clarke Johnson shares the inside story of building a homebuilding company from scratch—one defined not by scale first, but by customer insight, brand clarity, and bold differentiation. This session explores how a founder’s perspective—especially one grounded in understanding the real homebuyer—can cut through a crowded market, navigate shifting conditions, and ultimately attract the capital needed to grow.
