Jacqueline has been a Business Advisor for two of the venture-backed companies in which I have been a Board member. In one case, she functioned behind the scenes to help the co-founders evaluate and then establish a foothold in a new market by identifying industry leading strategic partners for both the front and back end of the business. In the other case, she functioned as a Chief Marketing Officer providing strategic advice and hands-on assistance to create a multi-tiered partner program. These companies were in a typical entrepreneurial state of flux throughout her engagements, but she was able to provide a stabilizing force and react quickly to solve problems and attack opportunities both within and outside of her scope of work. Her experience in the corporate world and disciplined approach – combined with her interest in “getting things done” is a valuable resource to new companies who need this experience real-time and cannot grow it fast enough in-house. She is on my short list as a strategic advisor for early stage companies.
