Alister / Jackson

About

Hi, I’m Alister

I’m a Bay Area native studying Finance + Accounting at CU Boulder, with a habit of finding the practical way to get things done.

Story

Alister Jackson in a navy suit, light blue shirt and gray striped tie, outdoors

I run on teamwork and problem solving. At Colorado football I help keep practice on the head coaches’ schedule. In a law office I kept thousands of case files straight and recorded payments accurately. Before that I started my own odd-jobs business and grew it year after year.

Golf shaped how I lead. As captain at Carlmont High School I rebuilt the team’s culture around communication, and the roster grew while our scoring average dropped. Outside of school I like golf, fishing and any project where a team has a problem to solve.
