About

Aloha, I’m Bert Jackson

With a dynamic career spanning community leadership, sustainability, digital marketing, foodservice, and music, I bring a unique perspective shaped by diverse experiences. Hawaii Island is home, and I’ve also lived for extended periods on Cape Cod and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. My work has taken me across the U.S., as well as to Europe, Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America.

I’ve held leadership roles, including CEO of the Cape Cod Technology Council and Director of Community Engagement for Expedition Blue—the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce’s blue economy initiative. As the founder and principal of multiple web development firms—and even a former foodservice operator—I understand the intersection of business, technology, and sustainability. Having spent most of my life in resort destinations, I appreciate the delicate balance between tourism and sustainability.

Currently, I serve on the Sustainability Committee of the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce. My past service includes leadership roles with Wellfleet Preservation Hall (Board President), the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, the Cape Cod Culinary Incubator (Vice President), the Cape Cod Technology Council (President), the Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative, and the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival. In 2022, the Massachusetts State Senate recognized my contributions to economic development in the Cape Cod region.
