Jackie Kier focuses on identifying, evaluating, and partnering with Cranemere’s operating companies, including NorthStar Anesthesia, Outpatient Imaging Affiliates, and Arietis Health. Prior to Cranemere, Jackie served as a Senior Policy Advisor at the National Economic Council (NEC) at The White House in the Obama Administration. Jackie began her career at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Jefferies & Co. She has an MBA from The Wharton School and an AB from Dartmouth College.

Jackie serves as a member of the Advisory Board of Generation Citizen (a non-profit focused on encouraging civics education and civic participation across all communities) and a Term Member at the Council on Foreign Relations. She resides in her hometown of New York City with her husband, Casey, and their two sons.

I joined Cranemere because my work in the Obama Administration led me to believe that there is a better way to invest to build long-term economic value for all stakeholders. At the NEC, I was part of the team that studied the negative impact of “corporate short-termism” on the United States’ economic competitiveness.

When I learned about Cranemere’s unique long-term model, values oriented decision making, and partnership approach with its operating companies, I was excited by the opportunity to invest in a way that can not only garner superior financial results, but also create real, sustainable value for all stakeholders.

When I’m not working, I’m spending time in Central Park with my kids and trying to fit in as many days on the ski slopes as possible.
