Jacqueline Hampton, CSO
Chief Strategy Officer
It was her father’s pictures of Antarctica’s penguins hanging on the wall in her West Virginia childhood home that sparked Jacqueline’s interest in exploring the world. Her travel experiences since then are as eclectic as her education and career. Jacqueline earned an AB from Duke in international relations and an MBA from the University of Virginia—but regardless of whether her days were spent in school, investment banking, media or travel tech (as they are now), her next trip is never far from mind. Always up for a new adventure, you might find her surfing in Sayulita, bungee jumping in New Zealand, walking the Great Wall, or tasting cognacs in, well, Cognac! Jacqueline even attended culinary school, so when traveling, she often channels her inner Anthony Bourdain while exploring the local cuisine. Jacqueline thrives on helping others find the magic of travel, which is why she created Portico Travel, and she is excited to further that mission at Indagare.
