Derek Jackson

Manager, Digital Accessibility Development
Derek's headshot shows him in front of a brick wall. He is a middle aged, white man with a shaved head and dark framed glasses. He has some reddish stubble that highlights his engaging smile.

Before becoming a Digital Accessibility Developer I worked at Harvard Business Publishing as the Associate Director of Content Production where I supervised the production of Higher Ed content. As the AD of Content Production I infused accessibility into our production process and worked hard to spread this mindset across Higher Ed through policy, guidelines, outreach and advocacy. I have an M.S. in Library and Information Science and an M.A. in Liberal Studies from City University New York. I am very excited to join the Digital Accessibility Services team and contribute to the continued improvement of digital accessibility at Harvard and to learn from my colleagues.
