Jacqueline Corbelli, Founder and CEO

Jacqueline Corbelli is a transformational leader who drives positive business growth and societal change. She tackles issues that define industry verticals, reshape culture and rebuild communities.

Jacqueline is the founder of the US Coalition on Sustainability, the nonprofit organization established in collaboration with the United Nations with the single purpose to unify and accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. To achieve its mission Jacqueline created SustainChain™, a digital and machine learning technology platform that unites innovators, impact investors, purpose-driven brands, NGOs and alliances who share the vision of rebuilding global supply chains to support sustainability.

Jacqueline is also the founder and CEO of BrightLine, a technology company formed in 2003 which she continues to lead that is built at the intersection of television streaming and interactive media. BrightLine is a cornerstone of advanced TV for all of America’s leading broadcasters. As an astute executive, she saw the prospect that shifting consumer behavior held for the future of media and, as with SustainChain and the fundamental need for new business models, the opportunity to put her change management skills to work to help redefine the relationship between the two.

Before BrightLine, Jacqueline served as President of Aston Associates, a leading advisory firm for financial institutions and their investors, where she restructured underperforming companies into beacons of the investment community. Over the course of 12 years, she directed the corporate-wide organizational redesign of 10 major corporations worldwide.

Jacqueline applies her transformational change methodologies outside of business and into the world of economic development and both governmental and non-governmental organizations. From 2010-2015, she served as Chairman of the Board of Columbia University’s Millennium Villages Project, overseeing the integrated economic development work architected by Professor Jeffrey Sachs in 10 countries across sub-Saharan Africa.

Jacqueline currently serves in leadership roles within forums of both the United Nations and the Vatican. In addition to her extensive involvement in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, she is a Member of the Leadership Council of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a Board member of the SDG Center of Africa and a Board Governor at the New York Academy of Sciences. Jacqueline also plays a leading role for the Vatican as a founding member of Pope Francis' Ethics in Action Forum created under the auspices of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, where she assists the Vatican to identify how technology, media and data can generate justice in society.
