RECOMMENDATIONS as posted on LinkedIn
“I had the pleasure of working with Jackie for almost three years in a high growth start-up environment. During this time Jackie developed the core quality and reliability program as revenue grew from $10 million to $90 million per year. Her colleagues recognized her tireless work ethic and hands-on collaborative approach to problem solving. Customers recognized the quality of her work and the resulting quality of the Company’s products. The management team appreciated Jackie’s leadership in driving positive change and addressing issues head-on. In a business model that relied heavily on foreign contract manufacturers, Jackie was often brought in to consult with the supplier engineering teams on process control and test parameters. Her deep experience in manufacturing was quickly recognized and valued not only by Bridgelux but by our supplier base.”
“Jackie, a Lady with endless energy and drive for whom no job is too large or daunting to put her teeth in. I have witnessed and enjoyed the success with our customers, on how she built out of scratch a Quality department in a rapidly (I mean rapidly) growing environment which on top is heavily based upon a growing Asian subcontractor model. Also under her flagship, Bridgelux built out a Quality department, which amongst many others successfully brought the Bridgelux product lines in accordance with/ approved by the different global standard bodies such as LM80, CE, etc. When judged needed, Jackie does not fear to communicate a difficult message and stand by it whilst at the same time she always searches a solution to ensure that the potential business impact is minimized. Conclusion in a nutshell Jackie is a great executive resource who knows like no one else the semiconductor and LED industry and on who you can rely and trust that the mission gets accomplished.”
“Jackie was a pleasure to work with in her role as VP Global Quality & Reliability (Consultant) at DataSlide. She has excellent experience and background for identifying potential areas of concern and proactively defining solutions to meet enterprise class requirements. She is a team leader and strong executive level professional.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jackie in two different companies and have known her throughout her professional career. As an executive, her candor, technical expertise, and interpersonal skills translate into an effective leader. Jackie takes the time to coach her team on developing effective solutions to problems and is not afraid to get her hands dirty in the process.”
“I’ve worked with Jackie at FormFactor, where she led the quality and reliability group as Vice President. She demonstrated strong knowledge and experience of quality and reliability tools and elements, perseverance, attention to detail, and fantastic leadership. Jackie is an exceptionally strong and influential manager, absolutely required in this type of position. Her results at Formfactor were outstanding, with a huge reduction in DOA and reliability issues on our products. I would recommend Jackie without any hesitation to any organization who needs to turn around the whole group in a quality oriented mindset and needs to achieve quantifiable results very quickly.”
