Jacqueline Parkes
Jacqueline Parkes (Classes of 2003 and 2005) left MLB in 2016, where in 21 years she rose to be the league’s first CMO.
Parkes was CMO and executive vice president, digital studios, at CBS/Viacom from 2016 until 2021, running eight brands. Since then, she’s been doing a lot of speaking at colleges, including Harvard Business School and the Wharton School, and conferences. She has plans to get involved in more boards, both philanthropic and business. She has been on the board of Seton Hall Prep for seven years.
“I am enjoying those outside things I never had time for, like sailing and tennis. I miss the people, of course. I don’t miss the commute and I don’t miss the hours. I am enjoying the quality of life you can have and I’m enjoying walking places other than the bus or train.” — Terry Lefton
