Jess Barker leads business development and operations at Alison Commercial Group, bringing equal parts creativity and operational discipline to a firm in a growth phase. With a background spanning operations, organizational development, and business strategy, supported by an MBA and MA in Organizational Psychology from Michigan State University, she has a knack for seeing both the big picture and the machinery behind it. Her work at ACG focuses on strengthening business development, identifying opportunities for growth, refining internal operations, and creating scalable systems that support the team as the company expands. Whether she is launching a new initiative, improving a process, or turning an ambitious idea into an executable plan, the focus remains the same: create momentum and make growth sustainable. She believes strong businesses are built not only through great deals, but through strong relationships, clear communication, and an exceptional client experience and that curiosity is wildly underrated. Asking the right question is often worth as much as having the right answer.
