Jackie's background has been as a senior manager in the public sector and an occupational advisory service. She brings a combination of operational service experience, policy background, social commitment and values. As a consultant she has many years experience working in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors and believes that this spread of experience enhances her effectiveness.
