Jackie Fisher CEO Export
Jackie Fisher joined Algeos in 2015, becoming CEO of the company in 2016. This International Women’s Day, Jackie is pledging her support for ‘Choose to Challenge’ as she is passionate about challenging gender stereotypes. International Women’s Day is an annual event that originated over a century ago in 1911. It is celebrated globally on 8th March to mark the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Each year has a different theme, with this year’s being ‘Choose to Challenge’, inviting women across the world to challenge something close to their hearts in an effort to ignite change. "I #ChooseToChallenge this International Women’s Day as I am passionate about challenging stereotypes,” explains Jackie. “I want women to know that there is nothing you can't do - if you put your mind to it, you can achieve it!" Before Jackie became CEO, she was Chief Financial Officer for Algeos and she brought a wealth of corporate and commercial experience to the company, gained from her previous roles as an EY trained chartered accountant and an auditor. She is very focussed on bringing people together to create solutions from a wide variety of expertise, skills and knowledge, and gets involved in everything in the company from sales and products to marketing and operations. “It is very important that I stay connected to the people that work at Algeos so you’ll often catch me walking around the warehouse and offices catching up with team members, helping out the operations team when a big order comes in and answering customer phone calls.” “I feel so passionately about what we do, what we can achieve and the resilient and adaptable people I have working with me at Algeos. These are such exciting times for us.” Want to join Jackie? Follow International Women’s Day on social media – @womensday - and pledge what you #ChooseToChallenge.
