Government : Saving lives with NHS Test & Trace
Jacqui worked for 30 years in the Financial Services industry where she held multiple executive positions with the likes of Credit Suisse , JP Morgan , Barclays and Bank of America Merrill Lynch .
She then followed her calling and joined the Ministry of Defence as director for the Defence Infrastructure organisation – where she was responsible for £ 4 billion annual investment across the whole military estate for the Army , Navy , Royal Air Force and Joint Forces Command .
“ When the call went out across Government for a chief commercial officer , I felt compelled to stand up and be part of the solution ,” says Jacqui . “ I have never been a good observer , always wanting to be in the thick of it , and this was the most challenging situation our country and the world has faced for decades .”

“ I found myself managing the most complex delivery challenge across government ”
