Ray Jackson

Owner, CareerBloom Consulting

Houston

Turned down twice for promotions in his own department, Ray found himself at a career crossroad. Feeling shut out and ignored, he disengaged at work and floundered. Since then, he has gone on to receive two promotions in 3.5 years into job roles that did not exist before. Furthermore, as a manager, Ray has created advancement opportunities for team members, and promoted them into it.

These experiences coupled with 15 years working in talent management has enabled him to successfully run multiple leadership development programs for leaders at various levels. One program Ray led for multiple years had a 71% promotion rate of program graduates into leadership roles. Ray has recently started his own career consulting business built on a framework that he's developed to empower corporate professionals with creating their own career advancement opportunities.
