Jennifer Scripps, CEO, Downtown Dallas, Inc.

Jennifer Scripps, a Dallas native and long-time civic leader, joined Downtown Dallas, Inc. as president and CEO in April 2022. She took the helm of the 100-employee organization at a time when Downtown Dallas was experiencing historic growth, including more than $4 billion in planned or ongoing development, thousands of new residents, and a string of high-profile corporate relocations.

Jennifer’s focus is on guiding DDI’s strategic 360 Plan and overseeing major projects expected to get underway in the coming years, including the Field Street District and the redevelopment of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, to name a few.

She previously served for six years as the Director of the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture where she oversaw a series of significant initiatives that elevated the arts throughout Dallas and across the country. Prior to her time with the City of Dallas, she served in multiple roles with the Perot Museum of Nature & Science, including overseeing the day-to-day aspect of the expansion project and business planning of the museum just north of the Central Business District.
