EOS Implementer, Kolbe Consultant, Velvet Glove Accountability
Jackie Kibler grew up in an entrepreneurial family with her father in the music and entertainment business. Her father had a passion for music and like many entrepreneurs, wasn’t able to create a solid business infrastructure to grow the business.

After college, Jackie worked for larger companies like Dun and Bradstreet, Wells Fargo, and Corporate Executive Board to learn best practices. She progressed through the leadership ranks and over the next 25 years, quickly became known as the “go-to person” for underperforming offices, regions, or companies using a strategic mix of goal setting, process development and personal accountability.
At Vistage, Jackie partnered with more than 100 entrepreneurial CEOs to help them improve their businesses. Within 12 months, her region improved in rankings from #10 to #2 nationally. It was there that she learned about EOS. It was everything she had done, in a proven process that was being used globally with entrepreneurs in all types of businesses.
