Innovative, from Clarivate, is pleased to welcome Amanda Jackson, an experienced library leader and advocate, to the Innovative team as a Product Sales Manager. She will be leading strategic sales initiatives across our software solutions, helping drive growth, strengthen client relationships, and deliver even more value to our customers.
Amanda brings nearly two decades of public library experience, including most recently serving as Library Director at Chesapeake Public Library where she was honored as the 2023 Donna G. Cote Librarian of the Year. She began her career at the Tennessee State Library and Archives as Children’s Service Consultant and held leadership roles at Gadsen Public Library in Alabama and as Director for the City of Chesapeake, VA.
A graduate of Jacksonville State University with a B.A. in English and an MLIS from the University of Alabama, Amanda has always believed in the power of connection between libraries and their patrons, and between libraries and each other. Her new role continues that mission, helping public libraries discover technology that truly meets their evolving needs.
“Amanda is someone who has lived the challenges and opportunities of modern librarianship. I am thrilled to have her join my team to help libraries find solutions that support their communities and staff,” said Carrie Pearson, Senior Director, Product Sales.
