Football Victoria (FV) is pleased to announce the appointment of Carolyn Jackson as our newest Board member, commencing September 9, 2024.
Ms Jackson enriches the Board with over 20 years of leadership experience in strategic delivery, financial management and change management within the Victorian Government.
Ms Jackson’s celebrated career has seen her spearhead complex initiatives and build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, Ministers, and senior executives.
Her leadership style is marked by strategic vision, accountability, and a reputation for achieving results in challenging and ambiguous environments.
Ms Jackson’s most recent role as Deputy Secretary at the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action has seen her lead key initiatives in climate action, environmental reform, and advancing self-determination for Traditional Owners. Her background also includes significant contributions to the energy sector, strategic finance, and regional leadership, alongside serving as Director at several organisations across the past decade.
FV President, Antonella Care, is thrilled that Ms. Jackson’s expertise in governance, strategic thinking, and financial management will provide invaluable, as the organisation continues to grow and develop football at all levels.
