About Brooke Jackson

I’m a creative, multifaceted C-level professional with extensive experience in operations, business development, and global strategic business planning. Equipped with an MBA, a Data Science Certification, plus music performance and journalism Bachelor\'s degrees, I possess a solid educational background backed by a proven track record of success in conceptualizing, planning, and executing game-changing strategic initiatives through a creative yet data-driven approach. I’m passionate about identifying opportunities to initiate game-changing business solutions, reducing costs while accelerating efficiency and inspiring team members to achieve their best through advanced methods of professional development and performance improvement. As Chief Operating Officer for YMU Group, I stood at the forefront of North American operations for an international firm representing 400+ talent clients across an array of entertainment and media sectors. International operations and business development puts me in a pivotal role to inspire innovation and growth. I understand the mechanisms that drive business forward and I can skillfully create strategic roadmaps that set a foundation for long-term success. Previously serving in key leadership roles throughout my career has given me tremendous insight into the importance of collaboration between multiple departments, cohesion among all functions, and direction throughout every level of operation. I’m also highly skilled at aligning cross-functional objectives and I’ve demonstrated great success in maximizing productivity within fast-paced, constantly evolving environments. I continuously advance in my own professional development and continue to gain deep insight into data analytics and business intelligence. These enable me to steer decision making, process restructuring, financial growth, and expansion opportunities through data-driven recommendations. I’ve helped organizations grow with skills that are easily transferable to other organizations and industries, and to every role I bring professionalism, enthusiasm, and a desire to achieve.
