Jon Jackson
I lead communications work tied to public positioning, media, policy, and organizational direction, working closely with senior leadership on how issues are framed and carried externally. My background is in Canadian broadcast media, live production environments where output was immediate and public. That still shapes how I work.
Built

Applied
inside
organizations.
Early work in Canadian broadcast media meant operating in environments where output was immediate and public. There was no buffer between what went out and how it was received.
That still shapes how I work. I focus on how something will read, where it will land, and how it will hold once it moves beyond internal discussion.

Jon Jackson works in communications and strategic leadership. He leads communications at the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association, where the work runs close to leadership, policy, media, and organizational direction.
He built his career in Canadian broadcast media across market-leading properties, working in live production environments where output was immediate and public. That background still shows up in how the work is handled.
His work now covers public positioning, earned media, leadership communications, policy-facing files, editorial strategy, and major organizational platforms. He is typically involved while direction is still being set, and he focuses on how quickly weak positioning becomes visible once it moves beyond internal discussion.
At CVCA, this includes communications tied to audience growth, platform performance, and the profile of the organization and Canada's private capital industry.
