In 2016 she earned the role of Regional Director covering the Mid Atlantic Region.

Jackie manages the operations strategy, oversees logistics, promotes alignment with global policies and controls, and ensures execution of operational best practices across all brands in the Edrington portfolio.  Jackie began her career at Edrington in 2016 on the corporate finance team as the Senior Accountant.  She made the switch to the Operations and Supply Chain side of the business in early 2018.  Over Jackie’s nearly 7 years with Edrington she has had the opportunity to participate in multiple global supply chain conferences, leadership trainings, and brand led events.

Jackie entered the spirits industry by happenstance after needing a change from her previous role as an Auditor at one of the big 4 accounting firms in the banking and capital markets industry.  Jackie quickly learned that financial services was not the industry for her, and she sought out to find an industry that felt more relatable.  Edrington’s values and culture (and prestigious portfolio) immediately drew her in, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Jackie lives in Colorado where she enjoys the outdoors and can indulge in hiking and skiing on the weekends.  She and her husband have a passion for travel which allows them to explore different cultures including their cuisines and cocktails.  When not traveling, Jackie also enjoys relaxing at home and eating her husband’s home cooked (restaurant quality) food and snuggling with her pup Uli.
