Scaling up Test and Trace over the last 18 months has been one of the most challenging programmes in recent history. A force of nature, Jacqui has played a transformational role in T&T bringing passion, commitment and enormous energy to building the largest testing and tracing capability in UK history. It’s not just what she has done – creating a highly-respected commercial function for a multi-billion pound organisation in just 6 months - it’s the way she has gone about it, as a truly inclusive, approachable and dynamic leader. Jacqui is one of a kind, and the country is much the better for having her as a leader in the Civil Service.
