After studying at the University of Western Ontario, Jackie began a retail management career spanning the full range of store operations. Her first positions were managing high volume locations for Tristan & America and Club Monaco. After relocating to Vancouver in 1993, Jackie joined the prestigious Holt Renfrew management team.
