About Jessica Tinner, Online Business Manager for Professional Speakers
I keep the business running behind the stage so you can focus on the speaking.
Hi, I'm Jessica, your new favorite Online Business Manager for Professional Speakers, and a TV show re-watcher (Friends, Hart of Dixie, and Pretty Little Liars).
How I got here
Like many people during the 2020 pandemic, I moved from a traditional office job to working remotely. I loved the flexibility, but I could not shake the thought that I might have to return to an office one day. I already knew I was good at organizing inboxes, managing client communication, and running day to day operations, so I started to wonder if I could do all of that as my own boss.
In January 2021, I started Jessica Tinner & Co. as a side business. That same year, I stepped into the speaking industry at Franchise Speakers, where I earned the nickname the Queen of Details. I handled admin, logistics, and submitting speakers to event clients, and I learned how a speaking business runs from the inside. From there I moved into one on one support for Professional Speakers, and in 2025 I took Jessica Tinner & Co. full time.
What I bring to your speaking business
I have more than 20 years of operations experience, and I know the speaking industry well. I understand event logistics, speaker bureau relationships, contracts, travel, speaking outreach, and the importance of following up quickly after every keynote.
How I work
I do not build a system and hand it back to you. I stay in your operations every week, managing the day to day, so nothing waits on you that does not need you. I keep my roster small so I can stay hands on with every speaking business I support.
Outside of work
I am originally from Houston, and I have lived in Huntsville, Alabama since 2018. I work with speakers across the country.
When I am not working, you will find me re-watching a favorite show, trying new restaurants with my husband, Johnathan, spending time with our bonus son, Caleb, or hanging out with our dogs, Missy and Charlie. Food, family, and great TV are a few of my favorite things.
She understands the speaking business and speaking systems.
Incredibly reliable and always stays on top of her tasks.
The backbone of our operation.
