Meet Our Founder
Jannette Haven is a connector, storyteller, and advocate for meaningful growth.
With a background in communications, community engagement, and business development, she has spent her career helping people and organizations build relationships that matter.
After two decades in the nonprofit and business worlds, Jannette noticed a common thread: small businesses often have the passion and talent to grow but not the time or network to do it. That realization inspired her to create The Connector’s Hearth, a space where relationships become the foundation for sustainable success.
Jannette believes business should feel human. She brings together professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs through genuine connection, thoughtful storytelling, and creative collaboration. Whether representing a brand at an event, producing community experiences, or helping clients find their voice through marketing and outreach, her mission remains the same: to help businesses grow through trust, empathy, and connection.
Based in Philadelphia, Jannette continues to build bridges across industries, one conversation, one collaboration, and one spark at a time.
