SKILLS
ABOUT KATHRYN JACOBS
I am a seasoned global business leader with $65B+ in value delivered through enterprise-wide transformation, operational restructuring, merger integration, and technology adoption. Accenture Managing Director recognized for leading through complex change across cultures and turning strategy into results for Fortune 200 and private equity backed enterprises. Broad span of expertise across consumer and materials industries. I have held global P&L roles, managed 350+ cross-functional teams, and spearheaded strategic commercial partnerships. Extensive international experience across Americas, Asia Pacific, and European markets.I have a personal passion for travel and adventure which was sparked by a high school trip to Papua New Guinea. I feed my thirst for adventure and deep sense of curiosity by creating new challenges as a way of life, immersing myself in 60+countries and by bicycle, foot and sea. Living in a Gobi Desert yurt is also a highlight. These experiences have informed my leadership style and my ability to integrate disparate business needs with meaning and purpose through a global lens.My career began in the R&D lab developing point-of-care testing technologies for early disease detection in the developing world awakened me to the impact of innovation. From there I stepped into tech incubation and venture capital to help a broad range of start-up/growth stage companies define commercialization strategies and access investment. Recently I reconnected with my start-up roots, taking on leadership of a start-up investment for Accenture Ventures.Industry expertise- Technology- Consumer Retail- Travel/Wellness/Outdoors- Manufactured Goods - Natural Resources - Advanced Materials- Life Sciences/Pharmaceuticals
