Global Marketing Leader and Executive Coach
Lauragaye Jackson is a global B2B and B2C marketer whose career has taken her through Fortune 500 companies in CPG, retail, insurance, financial services, and natural resources, leading work across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean. She has spent years building brands, shaping full-funnel strategies, and helping organizations connect with everyone from high-net-worth clients to mass, newcomer and multicultural consumers. What runs through that work is a sharp understanding of people: how trust is built, how buying decisions are made, and how marketing lands differently across cultures, life stages, and markets.
Her experience sits at the intersection of brand and performance. Lauragaye has led teams, developed content that engages, and used digital strategy to drive quality leads and profitable growth, all while working inside complex businesses where relevance matters as much as reach. Having worked across industries and geographies, she brings a practical understanding of how companies grow without losing sight of the people they are trying to serve.
That perspective became more personal when her own successful career took an unexpected turn. When her executive role was eliminated, Lauragaye found herself confronting questions many accomplished professionals know sense privately: what happens when the title changes, how confidence holds up during disruption, and how to keep evolving and reinventing when the next chapter is not yet clear? Rather than rush past that season, she let it reshape the way she thinks about leadership, ambition, and meaningful work.
Today, that lived experience adds another dimension to her professional work as a fractional CMO and executive coach. She brings these worlds together naturally, speaking with equal clarity about business growth, multicultural marketing, leadership identity, and reinvention in seasons of change.
Lauragaye has always prioritized formal education having obtained her MBA from the Schulich School of Business, CIP and FLMI insurance designations and the Canadian Marketing Association Chartered Marketer. She continues to have a growth mindset through professional development by gaining her Rotman Executive Coaching certificate, ICF Associate Certified Coach and AC Accredited Coach designations.
As a podcast guest, Lauragaye brings the perspective of a seasoned marketing leader who understands growth, culture, and what it takes to keep evolving when business and identity are both in motion.
