A note from Jacqui
“After years of watching business owners and operators face the same challenges - juggling priorities, missing processes, and disconnected strategies - I knew there had to be a better way.
I started JA Studios to give growing businesses access to the strategy, systems, and leadership they need without the full-time hire.
I’ve worked across SaaS, retail, fintech, and technology - always with a focus on growth and the customer. That mix of start-up agility and large-scale structure shapes how we partner with teams today: practical, flexible, and results focused.”
What We Help With
Whether you’re just starting out, stuck, or scaling, we focus on what truly moves the needle - bringing in the right support when you need it. We work through project-based, flexible and fractional models.

Project leadership • cross-team initiatives • growth programs • strategic account support
Who We Work With
Service Businesses
Helping owners step back and get clarity on what’s really driving (or slowing) growth. Often this starts with a quick audit - identifying workflow gaps, team capabilities, and opportunities across customer experience, market presence, and revenue processes.
Retailers & Brands
Retailers are constantly balancing commercial priorities with operational and technology change. We act as the bridge between business and technical teams, helping translate strategy into practical execution - improving customer experience, operations, and the systems that support them.
Retail Tech Vendors
We support scaling retail technology vendors to strengthen go-to-market and revenue operations. Just as importantly, we bring the retailer perspective into the room, ensuring products, messaging, and sales strategies resonate with how retail businesses actually operate.

Kirsty Gharamani (GAICD)
Director, Leadership Odysseys
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Jac several times across both retail and fintech. She has a unique ability to cut through complexity and bring clarity to what matters most. Jac rolls up her sleeves, gets close to the detail, and delivers strategies that truly shift results. More than a consultant, she’s a genuine partner who helps you focus, act, and achieve.”
Rebecca Vize
Founder, The Retail Life Coach
“Jac is an absolute standout when it comes to building genuine relationships and creating meaningful connections. She has an incredible ability to truly understand what people need and then link them with the right support, solutions, or partners to help them grow. Her passion for retail, performance, and business growth is inspiring, and the integrity she brings to every interaction sets her apart. What I’ve found most refreshing is the way she sees potential in both businesses and individuals - and knows exactly how to bring out the best in them. She is not only exceptional at what she does, but also a wonderful human being. It’s been a real pleasure connecting with her and witnessing the magic she creates.”
Linda van Wyk
Director, One Tree Mineral Water
“Before appointing JA Studios as a trusted business partner, we were drowning in endless to do lists and oblivious to what it actually takes to start a new business. Appointing JA Studios brought a tremendous amount of relief knowing we were in a safe pair of hands.
The deep experience of startups that JA Studios brings to the table has saved us time and money. The speed at which the team was able to understand all aspects of the business was remarkable and the momentum our business gained after appointing JA Studios was nothing short of incredible. If you are looking for a startup business partner who will work as hard as you do, you have found them.”
Felicity Herron
COO, tutch
“Jacqui brought greater structure and process design to the sales function in tutch which set the platform for future engagement with existing and new tutch customers.
Jacqui always brings a positive and supportive approach to problem solving in the business environment and creates an inclusive team model for peers and senior leaders alike.
Her real life, grass roots retail experience brought great value to our thinking and planning.”
