“I could not be prouder of Jeshanah for receiving this well-deserved recognition as a Forty Under 40 honoree,” said Ken Wolfe, President and Managing Principal. “Jeshanah is a distinguished leader, both within Brown Plus and within the Central Pennsylvania community. I commend her for her strong work ethic, her collaborative leadership skills and her commitment to helping all those around her achieve extraordinary outcomes.”

The Forty Under 40 award recognizes professionals under the age of 40 who are leaders of their organizations, industries and communities based on their professional accomplishments, community service and commitment to inspiring change. The winners are selected each year by an outside panel of judges, some of which are previous Forty Under 40 award winners.

“The 2024 Forty Under 40 are professionally successful and juggle busy lives including jobs, education and family. They understand giving back to the community is also important and make it a priority as well,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/CPBJ. “These young leaders are inspiring change, and we at the Central Penn Business Journal are pleased to honor them for all they have done and will continue to do in their profession, community and beyond.”

In her role as Marketing Director, Jeshanah focuses on aligning the strategic vision of the Firm with marketing initiatives and being the custodian of the Brown Plus brand. She also oversees the Firm’s Marketing Department. Beyond her marketing responsibilities, Jeshanah is also a key part of the leadership team at Brown Plus, assisting with the Firm’s strategic plan and culture initiatives, as well as being a champion for increasing the Firm’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to drive change in the Firm and the accounting industry as a whole.

In addition to her leadership role within Brown Plus, Jeshanah also serves as a volunteer for several nonprofit organizations in the Central Pennsylvania community. She currently serves as Board Member and Marketing Committee Member for Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts; Communications Committee Member for the United Way of the Capital Region; and Strategic Planning Committee Member for Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania.

For her many professional and community service accomplishments, Jeshanah has earned numerous awards and honors. She was recognized on COLOR Magazine’s Power List 40 Under 40 in 2023; was honored as a Tribute to Women of Excellence Honoree by YWCA Greater Harrisburg in 2022; was honored as a Woman of Influence by CPBJ in 2020; received the Rising Philanthropist Award from The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) in 2018; and was honored as the Rookie Marketer of the Year by the Association for Accounting Marketing (AAM) in 2017.
