Welcoming Anne Jordan
We are thrilled to welcome Anne Jordan to the Pavilion Growth team as our new Partnerships Manager. In her role, Anne will focus on building and nurturing relationships with public servants, ensuring their agencies have all they need to efficiently find cooperative contracts through Pavilion. Having previously served as a public servant in Kansas City, MO, Anne brings invaluable first-hand experience and a deep empathy for our public servant users. We are confident that these qualities will drive her success and greatly benefit our team and partners. Read on to learn about Anne's family history of public servants, new found passion for improv comedy, and how she's hoping to keep her plants healthy and happy!
As the daughter and granddaughter of public servants (and a recent local government employee myself), I have seen firsthand the capacity of government agencies to deliver public good. And I have also seen how bureaucracy can get in the way of that. I am thrilled to be a part of the dynamic team at Pavilion, working to unjam public procurement processes, because I know what a big impact this can make. By empowering public servants to deliver on big promises, we can expand opportunities for a more diverse set of businesses and improve outcomes for all of us whose lives are touched by those services. It is exciting to work with such a smart, ambitious, and creative team as we drive towards that mission.
Over the last few years, I have channeled my “former theater kid energy” into improv comedy. Not only is it a great outlet, but it has been a fun way to build community as I’ve moved to new places - initially in D.C., then in Kansas City where I lived for the last few years, and now in my new home in SF.
Plant care. I have taken my recent move to San Francisco as an opportunity to start fresh with plants. Since past experience has shown I don’t have a natural intuition for plant needs, I’ve downloaded a plant care app to help me stay on track…check back in a few months and we’ll see how they are doing!
