As CEO of Leadership Delaware, Jennifer Cohan embraces growing Delaware’s cohort of leaders and the collaborations that are made possible by the small-state connections in Delaware.

Before taking the helm at this impactful nonprofit, Cohan led the Delaware Department of Transportation as its secretary. She previously served as the department’s Division of Motor Vehicles first female director, and worked in public service for more than three decades.
