Hillary Jackson · Strategy

Every hard problem is really two problems held together.

Growth and sustainability. Speed and rigor. What the market wants and what the moment demands. The strategies that hold don't pick a side. They find the shape that carries both. Whether you're starting from a blank page, restarting a strategy that stalled, or picking up the pieces of one that didn't work, the hard part isn't the idea. It's getting every function, every stakeholder, and every priority aligned behind it. Pull up a chair with me and let's build the version that finally lands.

How engagements start.

01

Intro conversation

A 30-minute call to hear what you're working on, what's making it hard, and whether I'm the right person to help. Free, no pitch, just a real conversation.

02

Proposal & scope

A short written proposal covering the shape of the engagement, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Usually within a week of the intro call.

03

Kickoff & work

Signed agreement, kickoff call, and the work itself, with regular checkpoints so you always know where things stand and what's coming next.

04

Delivery & handoff

Final deliverables, a working session to walk through them, and everything you need to carry the work forward.

Where I do my best work, and where I don't.

A good fit

  • A strategy that has to hold across functions with competing incentives
  • Teams standing something up for the first time, or restarting one that stalled
  • A leader who wants a thinking partner, not a report
  • At least one internal owner to carry the work alongside me
  • Real investment behind the direction, not just interest in it

Not a fit

  • Open-ended, full-year retainers
  • Event planning as the main ask
  • Teams with no one to own and run the work
  • Acting as your sole strategist and operator
  • Work where the conclusion is already decided and needs a document

Strategy work at the intersection of what works, what lasts, and what's next.

I've spent my career learning to hold two things at once. Growth strategies that don't ignore what they cost the world. Sustainability plans that don't ignore what they cost the business. Big ideas that don't ignore the twenty smaller ideas they depend on.

The strategies that hold are the ones where those things fit, and my work is helping teams find that fit, whether they're starting from a blank page, restarting something that stalled, or picking up the pieces of a plan that didn't land the first time.

I most recently worked with Simudyne, a London-based enterprise simulation company, on strategy and research for their supply chain intelligence platform, the same agent-based simulation technology used at HKEX, LSEG, and Barclays, now aimed at enterprise supply chains, Scope 3 compliance, and network resilience.

I'm currently building an independent practice around the questions I care most about, and I'm selective about the work I take on.

"The opportunity is not just in the model. It's in finally unlocking and connecting what we already know, so that insight can turn into action."

Let's talk.

The best conversations start with a real question worth working on. Tell me what you're navigating and what's making it hard. I read everything and reply personally, usually within a couple of days.
