Kerry Jones (she/her)

Co-CEO

Working on Kaurna Land, Living on Peramangk Country

Kerry Jones is the Co-CEO of The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI), where she acts as a "strategic weaver" of the people, ideas, and partnerships needed to reshape social systems. With over 30 years of experience across the disability and social innovation sectors, Kerry has been a key strategic contributor to major initiatives including Our Town, Fire to Flourish, National Futures Initiative and TACSI’s work in Ageing Well. Her leadership is defined by a commitment to empowerment and allyship, focusing on creating the conditions for collective wisdom to surface and ensuring First Nations ways of knowing are at the heart of systemic change.

A champion for impactful collaboration, Kerry believes our greatest social breakthroughs happen when we have the patience to listen and the courage to experiment. 

When she’s not weaving new possibilities at work, Kerry is an avid reader and adventurer who can often be found exploring regional Australia with her family, rummaging through second-hand bookstores, or trying out new recipes with family and friends.

At TACSI, diversity and inclusion is more than a statement; equality and accessibility are guiding principles embedded in everything we do. We strongly believe that it’s the collective sum of all our communities differences, life experiences, and knowledge that enables both ourselves and our partners to come together to tackle complex social issues. That’s why we’re committed to having a diverse team made up of people with diverse skills from all backgrounds, including First Nations peoples, LGBTIQ+, mature-age people, and people with visible and non-visible disabilities, regardless of sex, sexuality or gender identity.
