Isles Names Sean Jackson As Chief Executive Officer

Isles, a nonprofit community development and environmental organization headquartered in Trenton, has named Sean Jackson as its new chief executive officer, effective October 1. Jackson will succeed President Marty Johnson, who founded Isles as part of a student-led initiative at Princeton University in 1981.

A long-term trustee of Isles, Jackson previously served as state director for U.S. Senator Bob Torricelli before transitioning to the private sector as senior vice president of Rosemont Associates, a government relations consulting and real estate development firm. There, in addition to serving as a consultant for dozens of New Jersey firms, he developed and managed more than 70,000 square feet of commercial development, most of which is located in Trenton.

Jackson joined Isles’ Board of Trustees in 2013, later becoming its real estate committee chair. He also served as chair of the pipeline committee, where he helped develop and evaluate Isles’ services.

In early 2019, Jackson stepped off Isles’ Board of Trustees to manage the Social Profit Center at Mill One, a conversion of a formerly vacant historic mill into office, studio, and flex space. The Social Profit Center will house charities (including Isles’ headquarters), other social profit organizations and artists under one roof, bringing shared services and a regional hub to improve the capacity of organizations across the region.

“Marty has built an innovative, barrier-breaking organization aimed at family self-reliance and community health, and I am honored to carry that legacy into this new, exciting chapter as Isles’ next chief executive officer,” said Jackson. “Our community, and indeed our country, face awesome challenges that require innovative, disciplined solutions. Isles management team is talented, experienced, and resourceful. I’m excited to work with them to meet these challenges in the months and years ahead.”

Johnson, who had been working as a part-time CEO/president while teaching Social Entrepreneurship at Princeton University and Lafayette College, will stay on in a part-time capacity to work closely with Sean and Chief Operating Officer John Hart to support the transition.
