Jackie Glenn, Founder
Jackie Glenn began her career in the year 2000 when she joined the human resources department of EMC Corporation, a Fortune 500 company in the technology sector. Working in HR proved to be Jackie's "aha" moment. She immediately saw that her life’s journey as a Jamaican immigrant in America could help EMC and others to create corporate environments that reflect the diverse world they are aiming to serve.
​
She quickly progressed to Global Chief Diversity Officer, overseeing 60,000 employees worldwide. Within this role, she created programs in organizational development, leadership consulting, and employee training. Jackie lifted EMC’s entire corporate culture to international recognition and acclaim by pioneering many of the best practices in the diversity and inclusion space.
​
Jackie holds a Master of Science degree in human resources management from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA and a bachelor’s degree from Emmanuel College in Boston, MA. Her love for civic advocacy includes service on the Board of the Children’s Services of Roxbury (MA), the Acting Board President for the Museum of African American History (Boston), the Board of SmartBear and the Board of Overseers of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital.
​
Lift As I Climb: An Immigrant Girl’s Journey Through Corporate America is Jackie's instructional biography on how she employed her ten self-created "gems" to guide her journey from nanny to CEO. Within its pages, Glenn reveals a vow she made to herself, alone at a cold bus stop soon after she arrived to the U.S. “When life gets better for me, no one will be left at the bus stop.” Her life is a reflection of that conviction.
