Meet your guide,JACKI BROWN
I’m a storyteller, who knows how to connect to audiences and drive value. With nearly two decades of experience, half of my career has been paving my own way in undefined roles.
I thrive on creating strategy and structure where none exists. I ask the hard questions and get to the truth. Then I build the strategy, the story, and the process.
I’m a former Quinnipiac University graduate school professor, who loves building and mentoring teams. I’ve had the opportunity to manage teams both in person and remotely across the US, Canada, and Western Europe.
I love to travel and learn about new cultures. Spending the last 7 years working in the travel industry has only increased my appetite to see and experience more.
Master’s in Communications Management from Emerson College
Pragmatic Marketing Level VI
SAFe Agilist Certified
7 YEARS IN TRAVEL

In case you were wondering...No, I’m not that Jackie Brown, the one you think of portrayed by actress, Pam Grier. I was, however, epically relieved to find out that Jackie Brown was not the name of Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the 1997 Quentin Tarantino movie. You can find me on LinkedIn as Jacki Schroder Brown.

TRAVELING TOGETHER
Before taking a trip with someone, you often wonder how compatible you’ll be. Will your idiosyncracies complement each other?
I build relationships and lead teams with a focus on:
Authenticity - bold, candid, and constructive
Positivity - encountering challenges with a smile
Momentum - delivery over perfection
Curiosity - continuous growth mindset
Compassion - putting the humans before the dollars
Empowerment - training, guiding, and advising
CASE STUDIES
What they say aboutJACKI SCHRODER BROWN
When I left my last in-house role to pursue this new path, the marketing team held a virtual game day to send me off. This was one of the questions and the responses. How many people can say their team described them with these words?
To say it was an honor is an understatement. As I was recently reminded by a TED Talk from Adam Grant, you can tell a lot about someone by how they treat those on their team.
A brand is more than just a brand. It can have a depth of meaning behind it. This logo? Not just a logo.
I partnered with brilliant Creative Director, Inessa Yusupov, who created a visual brand identity that would represent:
The order I bring to a business via the simple gridlines
How I help navigate the path forward, represented by a compass visual
The part I play as a portion of a larger team
The upward trajectory to positive growth we’ll create together
