David Jackson

David Jackson is a community leader by its most classic
definition. One who celebrates the complexity, accomplishments, potential, hopes and dreams of his people while also advocating for them, and grieving its tragedies and losses. David is a thought
leader in many arenas. One who can sit among his peers and share insights and wisdom that can not only shift the dialogue but shift the fate of communities, organizations and industries. He is a committed, active listener who understands the need to be heard is equal to the need to take action. A gifted problem solver, David is at his best in the thick of it – in the midst of the battle –crafting strategy and launching innovations that not only solve problems but catapult ideas beyond common use and forge strategic paths forward in new directions. David is that guy. That guy you call to help you think about something deeply and thoroughly. David is the guy you call when you’re sick of being told no and you need that
one person who can push past pedestrian objections and see your vision as a leader. You can best see the brilliance and essence of David when you see Evolve Oakland.
David Jackson is a builder – of people, systems, and institutions. He connects people to opportunity and is a partner in hope. David brings the infinite possibility embedded in his faith into the marketplace. David is the proud father of four and Co-Chaplain of the Golden State Warriors.
