Jill Jago is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Vermouth, a premium, sustainable beauty company that aims to create a line of fully compostable beauty products made from natural ingredients and packaged using absolutely no plastics. She doesn’t believe in perfection and is a language fanatic – a very good combination. Her vast experience has shown her that the most exciting and world-changing ideas are born from a chaotic soup made up of clashing opinions, crazy notions, and stubborn dreams. There isn’t a messy situation she can’t handle by looking for patterns, making connections, and eventually finding then tugging on the end of the thread that will weave all the best bits together into one glorious opportunity.
Positive doesn’t begin to describe her demeanor. She firmly believes as humans we have the power to create the future we want. Not one to stand by and see what happens – she actively seeks out people to partner with who are willing to challenge the status quo and who are as committed to making a positive impact as she it.
Jill’s motivation to make more sustainable outcomes possible by challenging conventional wisdom has been built during a series of increasingly senior roles in a variety of industries. From starting her own water company to as CSO for an oil company she learned about resilience and climate change and the important role communications play in sustainability issues. She is committed to tackling the little-p political sustainability-related challenges with courage and a strong voice. The world is lucky to have her passion and loyalty to this commitment.
She’s learned many lessons throughout her journey and wants people to know that “if anybody says you can have it all – be wary because that is where madness lies”. Instead, lean into balance by finding what makes you happy and choosing what is important, rather than what you think is the right answer. Making that decision takes courage, but it’s an important decision to make.
