✦ About
Hi, I’m Jaclyn.
I’m a senior executive and advisor who partners with people and mission-driven organizations to turn vision into measurable impact.
With more than 20 years of experience across nonprofit, philanthropic, corporate and higher-education sectors, I specialize in growth strategy, marketing, strategic partnerships and philanthropic engagement. I work closely with CEOs and leadership teams to identify high-value opportunities, align stakeholders and unlock the resources needed to advance their mission.
My work sits at the intersection of relationships, data and strategy.
✦ Why This Matters
It’s always been about the people.
For years I’ve helped founders, CEOs and executive teams set plans, crush goals and grow. I’ve loved every minute. But my favorite part? The people I’ve met along the way. Every one of them is part of my story.
Early in my career, I led agency-of-record work for P&G and saw firsthand how one of the world’s best-run companies plans for success. So I started doing it for my own life, mapping out what I’ll do daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly.
My favorite part of Jaclyn 1.0 through 7.0? The yearly reflection session. Seeing how far I’ve come, what’s changed and what’s still ahead.
Spark Arete gives you that same clarity, focus and joy of progress. For your life, your family, your team and your organization. I can’t wait to hear what you’re dreaming up.
