The mission of Columbia Street Partners is to acquire, operate, and grow one great business.

Jenna’s Story

Following in the footsteps of her entrepreneurial parents and grandparents, Jenna Hussein founded Columbia Street Partners to acquire and lead a great business into the next chapter of its growth.

The name Columbia Street Partners is a tribute to Jenna’s roots and the entrepreneurial spirit that shaped her upbringing. Columbia Street is where she grew up and where her parents, Tanzanian immigrant entrepreneurs, bought and owned their first home.

Her parents’ journey - building a life and businesses from the ground up - informs Jenna’s approach to operating Columbia Street Partners: finding a great business with a strong foundation to grow and create lasting impact.
