    CONNECT WITH JACKIE

    With executive careers in finance at New York, San Francisco and Guam banks and a public sector management position with the Guam Airport International Authority, Jackie Marati coupled her work career with civic work with the South Pacific Games and nonprofit volunteerism with Guam Cancer Care, MakeAWish, Guam Women’s Chamber and St. Anthony and Academy of Our Lady of Guam. This while being a single mom raising two daughters.

    She had readied her retirement plans just before the pandemic shutdown, but slowed down the process while remote working. She then accelerated her plans with the passing of her dad and being a caregiver to her youngest sister Lisa who died of cervical cancer.
