About Jackie Pride

With extensive experience in strategic communications, I\'m an advocate for employees, helping them feel valued, connected, informed, and empowered, while advancing the goals of the business through thoughtful, high-impact communications. I support the mission of creating a culture where everyone feels comfortable being themselves at work. I support senior leaders at Eaton, a global power management company with $24.9B in sales and employees in 160 countries. I develop and execute communication and engagement strategies that attract and retain employees, raise brand visibility, and position Eaton as an employer of choice. I leverage my Prosci certification in change management to assess and anticipate change impacts, provide counsel, and mitigate risks. On a regional level, I support two divisions, creating and executing strategies to improve the employee experience for employees across 17 sites in the United States, Mexico, Canada and India. I build brand visibility and position Eaton as a Great Place to Work, leveraging philanthropy, sponsorships and volunteerism. I am passionate about illustrating the power of increased employee engagement and the impact on bottom-line results, shepherding people through change, working with senior leaders on thought leadership and community impact, and building relationships.
