Read more“Jackie O.” is an innovative global leader that has successfully built and led non-profit and healthcare organizations delivering complex services that serve thousands. Jackie has founded new organizations and transformed struggling non-profits into powerhouses with high impact and financial stability. Over the last 9 years, she has been recruited to manage progressively larger organizations because of her deep expertise in developing winning strategies, building and motivating highly-engaged teams, crafting win-win partnerships and delivering complex services that serve thousands. She has extensive experience working in the US, Central America, Asia, and Africa and her passion is building a culture of innovation.
Formerly, Jackie was transforming the landscape of healthcare as the senior program manager for accountable care organizations (ACOs). Her job duties required her to develop and implement interventions to increase and improve coordination of care across the health continuum.
Previously, Jackie was transforming training for public health professionals in California, Hawaii and the US Pacific Islands at the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT). Jackie energized the training landscape for public health professionals by using new technologies including social media, podcasts, webinars, radio broadcasts and online courses.
Jackie was instrumental in improving hospital management practices (including reducing patient wait time by 50%) in all 13 public hospitals in Ethiopia. She worked with hospital management teams and the Ministry of Health to identify problems and implement new systems for infection control, nursing standards, hospital budgeting and sustainable financing.
In Kenya, Jackie’s work reached over 68,000 people with messages promoting HIV/AIDS education. As a Fulbright Scholar to Indonesia, Jackie managed a local NGO that trained domestic workers in participatory activism.
