POLICY RESEARCHER
AND
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATOR
JAX JACOBSEN
Combining scientific literacy, financial fluency, and political expertise
I help companies, research organizations, and NGOs create clear, compelling content on policy and advocacy.
I conduct policy research and bring about effective stakeholder outreach, having conducted more than 1,500 in-depth interviews with stakeholders over the course of my career. I also produce white papers, advise on grant applications, and work with executive teams to develop eye-catching thought leadership content.
I’m a policy journalist with 20+ years of experience translating complex ideas into impactful content. I’ve interviewed scientists, agency leaders, CEOs, and government ministers from around the world. My analysis has informed investment decisions, shaped municipal policy reports, and reached the decks of executives and ministers. My work has appeared in Forbes, Corporate Knights, Reuters, VICE, and countless other publications, and I’ve helped organizations like McKinsey, McGill University, BlackRock, and Anglo American communicate with clarity.
