Jackie has worked within the investor stewardship movement for the past 25 years to advance sustainable business practices. Between 2007 and 2018 she founded, led, and sold a “proxytech” business that supported investor voting analytics and campaigns. In her present position at Morningstar - a global financial research, data, and services provider - she leads a team of ESG specialists who represent institutional investors in proxy voting and direct engagements with large multinational companies on topics of corporate governance, climate, and sustainability. Previously, within Morningstar, Jackie focused on fund and asset manager research as a subject matter expert on investor stewardship. Throughout her career, Jackie has published widely to both academic and professional readerships on corporate form, investor active ownership, and energy governance. Her work is motivated by a belief in the power of financial markets to move the dial on pressing environmental and social challenges.

Jackie grew up under the African sky and is a graduate of Oxford University’s Saïd Business School as a Rhodes Scholar. She is married with four teens and a house full of pets and plants.
