Jacob has been employed by the three most prominent Australian arts organisations including Bangarra Dance Theatre (BDT), Sydney Dance Company (SDC) and Queensland Ballet (QB). A leader in the Australian performing arts and arts education sectors, Jacob has served on a number of boards and committees across the country and worked as a consultant on national dance education programs.

Jacob has demonstrated success in producing arts performances of scope and scale, managing teams of artists, and increasing company revenue through marketing, corporate partnerships and philanthropy. He has worked across the emerging, independent, small-to-medium and major performing arts sectors, developing influential networks and a deep understanding of the complex arts ecology.

While working in the Australian arts industry, Jacob has seen first-hand the positive impact of arts experiences on individuals and communities, and its ability to transform lives and support societal change. For this reason, and due to many years of service as a choreographer for Moorambilla Voices, Jacob was drawn to the role of Executive Director at Moorambilla Voices for the Company’s vision to support children in rural and remote Australia to grow and achieve their enormous potential, and the Company’s deep commitment to people, land, community and culture, which align with his own values, beliefs and professional experiences.
