Summary
Gavin Jackson is a veteran frontend specialist and engineering leader with over 20 years of experience, currently serving as Group Head of Frontend Engineering in Bath. He has twice been part of multi-million pound exits tied directly to products he built, and holds a track record of creating and productising a bespoke frontend framework (Integro CX) used to deliver enterprise-grade wealth management platforms. Over the last decade in FinTech he has combined hands-on framework development with hiring, mentoring and shaping cross-functional distributed teams, while influencing product strategy and sales. Early career work in advertising and extensive Flash/Flex projects gave him a strong design sensibility and animation-driven UX instincts that he still applies to accessible, performant interfaces. Unusually for a leader, he remains an active framework author and toolmaker focused on developer experience, not just organizational leadership.
