Leading with Heart: Jennifer Luce Named Chief Human Resources Officer

Jeunesse is pleased to announce Jennifer Luce as the new Chief Human Resources Officer. Jennifer has been with Jeunesse since it was founded, almost 14 years ago, and began her journey with the previous owners almost 17 years ago.

Jennifer is responsible for all global HR functions including but not limited to prioritization and management of exacting global policy agendas, hiring, payroll, health and benefits, recruiting, employee relations, and corporate communications. As a problem solver with excellent interpersonal relationship-building skills, Jennifer has proven leadership abilities to foster and create a culture where employees enjoy coming to work. With over 12 years of experience in the human resources space, Jennifer is an expert in expanding employee growth, fostering strategic partnerships, and delivering exceptional work performance in business operations.

She began her career at Jeunesse in the Customer Service Department and was promoted internally over the years until advancing to her current role. Her diversified experience in HR management, operational management, process improvement, workforce management, business development, talent acquisition, and strategic planning has allowed her to successfully lead teams to achieve awards such as DSN’s Best Places to Work for five years and Top Places to Work for the Orlando Sentinel for two consecutive years!

Known across the organization as Jeunesse’s No. 1 cheerleader — Jennifer is always encouraging, supporting, and mentoring colleagues globally. She cares deeply about the health, happiness, and personal success of each and every colleague and pours into the internal team relentlessly. Her undeniable passion for enhancing all aspects of the employee experience and providing opportunities to grow, develop, and be recognized make her a truly special kind of leader — one who builds others up, making them feel seen, heard, valued, and appreciated.

“Believe in the talent and potential of your team, encourage them to identify their purpose, inspire them to reach for greatness and support them in their journey to achieve their dreams. What you DO as a leader has far greater impact than what you SAY!”
- Jennifer Luce

As a dedicated community member, Jennifer sits as a Seminole County Chamber of Commerce Member and serves as the Managing Editor for MySanford and MyDeltona Magazines. Jennifer earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Central Florida and received her master’s degree in business administration at the University of Phoenix. During this time, she served as the Secretary of the Society of Human Resource Management’s Orlando Chapter and was also a member of Delta Mu Delta, a high-honors society for Business Majors. She believes education is extremely valuable and obtained her CFAA-HR credential in 2022. Most recently, she was awarded another leadership development certificate from Seminole County at the beginning of 2023.

Jennifer’s grit and grace for every project she puts her hands on or every goal she aims to accomplish is unmatched because of her strong determination to win! She has overcome many obstacles throughout her journey and still possesses a “whatever it takes” mentality. Jennifer cares deeply about the success of others and goes above and beyond to help them reach their maximum potential.

Being a mom is Jennifer’s favorite part about life and even though she’s always had a strong work ethic and been an overachiever, it is no secret (as she is not shy about sharing) her “purpose” and biggest “why” is her 16-year-old son, Austin. There is always a special twinkle in her eye when she talks about him and she insists Austin is by far her greatest achievement. Outside of work, you can find Jennifer on the basketball courts cheering him on!
