As vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, Jackson is one of several Apple executives who have been tipped to succeed Tim Cook. At Climate Week NYC, she’s been talking to entrepreneur leaders across all industries, and according to Inc. magazine, advised them all to work with communities.
“If you design an answer in a vacuum away from the community that’s impacted and away from the people who have to live with it and use it, it’s not going to be a solution,” she said. Specifically regarding Silicon Valley, she added that “we’re so smart [there], but communities know what they need, as well.”
