Agape Therapeutic Riding Resources Names Denisse Jensen as Executive Director
Agape Therapeutic Riding Resources has announced Denisse Jensen as its next Executive Director. Denisse brings more than two decades of leadership experience in nonprofit operations, strategic growth, and stakeholder engagement, with a track record of growing mission-driven programs and fostering inclusive community support.
Most recently, Denisse served as Executive Director of GiGi’s Playhouse Indianapolis, where she led the organization through transformational growth, expanding services from 60 families to more than 600, and launching a global virtual platform that now reaches 81 countries.
Beyond her nonprofit leadership, Denisse has also held roles in business development and project management, bringing a well-rounded perspective to strategic planning and organizational growth. She currently serves on the boards of the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and the Lions Club of Carmel, and was recognized by The Arc of Indiana as Professional of the Year in 2019.
Talbott Talent was honored to support Agape in this important leadership transition. We worked closely with the board to identify the qualities needed in their next Executive Director and guided the organization through the full search process. Denisse emerged as a strong and values-aligned leader with the passion, experience, and vision to guide Agape’s mission forward.
Agape provides therapeutic riding and equine-assisted services to individuals with diverse needs across Central Indiana. With a commitment to inclusion, healing, and empowerment, Agape's programs help participants gain confidence, develop life skills, and experience meaningful connection through the power of horses.
We look forward to seeing what’s ahead under Denisse’s leadership.
