About the Facilitator: Jackie Ventura

Jackie Ventura is the Sr. Director of Sustainability and Facility Health & Hygiene at Chase Center – the new home of the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco. She joined the team in July 2019 and helped lead them to a successful opening while establishing world-class systems and processes for venue operations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jackie led the strategic reopening of Chase Center by designing protocols in compliance with local, federal, and NBA mandates culminating in an award-winning testing program for players, employees, and fans. In her current role, she leads the sustainability strategy for Chase Center including responsible resource use, operational efficiency, fan education, and collaborative community engagement.

Prior to joining the Warriors, Jackie spent 18 years with the Miami HEAT in various facility management roles, including 10 years leading their sustainability initiatives and programs. During her tenure with the HEAT, FTX Arena became the first NBA facility to achieve LEED Certification (2009), the first sports & entertainment facility in the world to reach LEED Recertification (2014), and multiple community programs educating South Florida on environmental stewardship.
