Jackie Geis has spent over two decades creating, building, and leading internationally-focused initiatives and coalitions. Her experience spans start-ups and large institutions; the UN, US Government, and private sectors; and the fields of justice, human rights, technology, and climate.

Most recently, she was the CEO of Videre est Credere, where she spent a decade building a nascent start-up into a multi-award-winning, highly-respected human rights documentation organization. She built partnerships with over 100 policy, media, legal, and advocacy actors and established Videre as a trusted player in the human rights ecosystem. As a result of these efforts, Videre was awarded the 2016 Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship.

A problem-solver and builder by nature, she is as adept at conceptualizing strategies and vision as she is at building teams and governance structures. She is a sought-after advisor on strategy and has advised NATO, the International Criminal Court, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the International Committee for the Red Cross on human rights, technology, and security.  She has also advised dozens of NGOs on governance, fundraising, team-building, and operating in complex environments.  She has also managed and built boards and complex governance structures in multiple countries.
