I have had the distinct privilege of knowing Jacqueline Lopes for almost 40 years, and in that  time, she has exhibited core values of unwavering trustworthiness, steadfast reliability, and  uncompromising integrity. Whether in times of calm or crisis, she has consistently shown up— not just physically, but with a presence that offers comfort, guidance, and resolve.  

There are two main characteristics that set Jacqueline apart from most others I know. The first is  the rare ability she has of keeping promises, she simply does what she says she will do, Period! If  she commits to a task, not only will she complete it, but she will complete the task at a quality  level and on time. In other words, she will not render you a service that she herself would not  want.  

The second characteristic that set Jacqueline apart is her concern and willingness to help others.  Here, she is unmatched in my circle of friends and business associates. She sees people and will  go the extra mile to accommodate their needs. I’ve seen her operate in this space numerous  times and sometimes to her own detriment.  

In a world of blurred lines, Jacqueline’s character points true North. For these reasons she has  been one of my most trusted and valued friends and business associates for nearly four decades.  She is one to always be kept at the core of a team. She is simply remarkable!
