With over 13 years in the IT industry, I’ve built my career at the intersection of technology, global business strategy, and people empowerment.

I joined WorkWithPlus in 2013, starting in support and later leading the Support and Customer Experience teams. That hands-on journey shaped my deep understanding of customer needs, product value, and long-term relationships - all of which now guide my role as Chief Commercial Officer, where I lead sales and commercial strategy in 35+ countries, always striving to build lasting relationships that empower our clients, partners, and community.

As a Computer Engineer with a Master’s in Computer Science, I combine a strong technical foundation with expertise in sales strategy, customer success, and partner ecosystems. This allows me to understand complex systems, lead product conversations with clarity, and bridge business and technology in meaningful ways. I see AI as a key enabler to build smarter, more inclusive, and more efficient experiences.

I’m passionate about multicultural leadership, with a style centered on inclusion, adaptability, and lasting impact. To strengthen these skills, I completed the Cultural Awareness for Global Business course at MIT and the Strategic Sales Management Program at ESADE. I’m also a Santander W50 Leader and a proud Google Women Techmakers Ambassador.

Jacqueline “Jaki” Stockwell is the CEO & Founder of Leadership Through Data, a global company who provide information management training and consultancy to both public and private sectors.

Alongside running the business, Jaki is also a professional speaker and is invited to attend international conferences and events. Jaki’s sessions are all about teaching information managers how to deliver fun, engaging and informative presentations to their colleagues in their respective businesses. As information managers know, it’s important that everyone in a business understands what information management is, however getting them to listen and comply is undeniably difficult. Jaki’s teaching methods empower information managers to think differently and use psychology along with a combination of styles to get their message across; after all, one size doesn’t fit all.

As well as being an international speaker, Jaki’s creative and inspirational leadership style and proactive approach to information management has led her to mentor others. She is quoted by clients and industry peers who say that “her positive attitude is infectious” and “she is totally human in her approach”.

Jacqueline’s aim in her career is to simplify information management what is unfortunately viewed as a complex and uninteresting topic, into relevant practical and enjoyable solutions which can be understood and implemented by all. The safety and security of information is both key to successful businesses but also a threat to their success if not managed effectively.

Whether in business or in her personal life, Jaki is always mindful of her sustainability efforts. At home she loves to upcycle and breathe new life into preloved furniture and décor. She loves to craft and sew and enjoys gardening and growing fruit and vegetables - no matter how successful the harvest may be .

On a mission to change discovery from a stage to a predictable process 🏆

🔍 Highlights:

I’ve helped Bitrise (YC W17) scale from $3M to $22M ARR:

1️⃣ starting as their Founding Sales Rep closing deals worth less than 3k USD to begin with

2️⃣ proving that we can close 40k+ deals too in my first 3 months, and

3️⃣ landing deals up to 400k as an Enterprise Account Executive.

4️⃣ In my last year at Bitrise I was promoted to lead the EMEA Account Executive team. Ended up growing them from 2 to 9 sales reps during my tenure.

In this time I’ve seen the Sales team grow from 1 to 50+ people and the GTM team scale from less than 5 to 100+ people.

💡 Bitrise wasn’t the first company I’ve had success at either.

Prior to joining:

1️⃣ I was among the top 10% of Sellers at Keyence, one of the largest Private companies globally with a world-class Sales team, and

2️⃣ stabilised the revenue flow of a new Value Added Reseller within 6 months as their Founding Sales Rep.

💡 What now?

🏆 I still love training and mentoring Sales reps and wanted a way to do that without having to deal with corporate politics. So I started my own Sales Consultancy.
