Client Feedback
While it was clear very early that Jacqueline was well versed in every aspect of marketing, she was particularly amazing at identifying and engaging strategic partners that we would never have otherwise thought of. She secured a meeting with senior management of a $4B company within 45 days of her first phone conversation with them, no small feat with such a large, bureaucratic company.
Jacqueline was a consultant to our company but she quickly became looked upon as one of the most important advisors to the management team. Her in-depth experience working with everything from small startups to large corporation gives her the ability to map out a marketing plan and adjust it at each level of growth. She advanced our thinking by years.
Jacqueline is very selective about which projects she takes on and with whom she works. Once on board she was just as passionate and devoted as any founding member of the company. We got through many tough times because of her perseverance and optimism. She quickly became a friend and personal advisor.
