In her role, Jackson will focus on building relationships with businesses at a variety of stages, determining methods to help clients grow and achieve success. She will lead the team in business development efforts, providing consumer and commercial business deposit needs.
In addition to these responsibilities, Jackson will support the Bank’s marketing efforts.

Throughout Jackson’s 30-year banking career, she has held positions with Virginia financial institutions, most recently serving as executive vice president, director of business development for Fairfax-based MainStreet Bank. Jackson began her career in banking as a part-time teller while studying for a career in chemical engineering. She developed a passion for helping people, which coupled with her systematic approach, allows her to quickly determine proper accounts and services to build successful financial outcomes for clients. Her passion translated into her affinity for community banking, knowing that she was working to support local business owners through local resources, and allows for greater customized solutions to help them meet their goals.
“I’ve been so fortunate over the years to work with so many different types of clients and be a part of their success stories,” said Jackson. “I truly enjoy cultivating and maintaining relationships with clients that span many years, and I hold a great respect for FVCbank as our leadership values this same passion. FVCbank offers true flexibility, ensuring we’re able to provide the right solution to meet our client’s needs. It’s gratifying to be able to utilize our resources to help our clients build upon their goals.”
Jackson currently serves on the board of directors of the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, is involved in the Foundation to Fight Blindness, and also regularly volunteers support for Our Daily Bread of Fairfax, helping those struggling with homelessness, as well as Eddie’s Club, an organization committed to providing social activities for children and teens with special needs.
