Brings further strategic growth and operational efficiency business intelligence

DALLAS, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Jacobs (NYSE:J) announced today the election of Mary Jackson to its Board of Directors, effective upon the closing of the previously announced separation of Jacobs’ Critical Mission Solutions and portions of its Divergent Solutions business, or, if earlier, January 15, 2025. A 32-year veteran of the United States Navy with extensive experience as an advisor across numerous boards while in the Navy and since, retired Vice Admiral Jackson brings a proven track record of dynamic leadership discipline, strategic business continuity and operational efficiency.

Having retired from the U.S. Navy as Vice Admiral in 2020 where she led complex worldwide operations for shore installations, including infrastructure management and program governance, budgeting, supply chain management, human capital management, risk management and execution, she has leveraged that global experience leading multifaceted projects and services for diverse teams to become a premier public and private company independent director.

Jacobs CEO Bob Pragada said, “We are very fortunate to be appointing Vice Admiral Jackson to the Jacobs Board. Her extensive experience in large scale global infrastructure management, combined with her vast knowledge of operational effectiveness, digital transformation and innovation will be of considerable benefit. We look forward to her contributions as Jacobs evolves as a significant pure play infrastructure solutions provider in the next exciting chapter of our company’s transformation.”

Currently, Vice Admiral Jackson serves as an independent director on the boards of Victory Capital Holdings, Custom Truck One Source, several private company boards, and the United States Naval Academy Foundation. She holds a bachelor’s degree in physics (oceanography emphasis) from the United States Naval Academy and a master’s degree in engineering management from George Washington University.

At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. With approximately $16 billion in annual revenue and a talent force of more than 60,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical, scientific and project delivery for the government and private sector.
