Jackie is a native of Laois and returned to live in the county in 2009. As a career management consultant, she set up her own business consultancy practice in 2018, where she was appointed to animate the Laois Tourism strategy. Jackie has always promoted Laois as a destination and is excited to support and promote new and existing businesses in Laois.
Jackie’s plan in collaboration with the board of the Chamber Alliance will be focused on ensuring that members are consulted and engaged with in order to deliver the value that they are looking to gain for themselves, and their businesses.
Utilising her networking skills, she will look to further build a platform where local businesses and stakeholders are able to communicate, discuss plans and propose ideas. Jackie’s strategy will involve three main areas of activity: firstly gathering feedback from members to understand concerns and pain points, secondly creating a series of events discussing and exploring topics that are of value to the members and lastly looking to create engaging online and social media content that is relevant to the current needs and opportunities for Laois as a destination to work, live, visit and primarily do business.
