After the COVID-19 and the global crisis it incited, there was an acknowledgement of the interconnectedness of the world and a renewed sense of wanting to have a positive impact on society.
Companies and brands are rethinking their values. Consumers are expecting more.
New policies and initiatives, such as the European Green Deal, are requiring businesses to act responsibly and rethink their impact on the world and society.
And impact-driven organizations and brands need more support than ever to achieve the Sustainable Development Agenda by 2030, which is less than a decade away.
I help clients realize their impact and sustainable-driven objectives through project management, strategic communications, and advisory services using a cross-functional approach.
My process is co-creative: 1) defining the objective, 2) tailoring solutions, 3) implementing actions and 4) assessing collaboratively for continous improvement.
My approach is collaborative: I act as an adjunct team member that seeks to incorporate learnings and work in an integrated way.
PROJECT & STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT

“Jamie was my main point of contact within FNC from 2019 to 2021 for the Costa Foundation's investments in Cundinamarca in rural Colombia. FNC is a very big organisation; so it was particularly helpful for me to work with an individual with similar values to mine, whose priorities were always aligned to "doing the best" for the children we were supporting. Her project coordination skills were particularly strong and I always had responses from the field in good time. Her communication skills were also a highlight to me; she provided reports and information in a timely manner and they were always well written, concise and informative.
When we had to collectively make occasional (and potentially difficult) strategic decisions, I always found Jamie to be honest and forthright and her ability to think strategically was something I truly valued.
I would work with Jamie again in a heartbeat.”

“Jamie had a central role in strenghtening rural honey-farming associations, which are mainly comprised of female victims of the conflict. Her research detailing production and commercialization by small-scale apiarists helped such associations accede to markets beyond their communities. Based on this research, she coordinated between the associations, governmental instituions and the private sector to secure technical assistance to professionalize their operations.
Jamie demonstrated exceptional analytical, communication and research skills. She conducted in-depth interview with internal and external partners...She frequently collaborated on projects beyond her brief, notably by supporting colleagues working under intense pressure and deadlines...Her affability, diligence, and deep commitment to human rights and peacebuilding were appreciated. I was especially impressed by her ability to delivery high quality outputs with minimimal supervision.
