Michael “MJ” Jackson
Assistant Vice President & Global Head of Industries, DocuSign
In response to COVID-19 vaccination and testing mandates, DocuSign developed a solution for organizations that were required or chose to implement proof of vaccination and testing programs.
In his role as assistant vice president and global head of industries, Michael “MJ” Jackson spearheaded the launch of DocuSign’s solution that offers a secure environment and workflow to capture proof of vaccination and helps agencies to meet these mandates.
“As we continue to manage through the pandemic, employee confidence in safely returning to the workplace is paramount,” he said. “DocuSign is trusted by 1 million customers — more than 3,000 of which are in the public sector. After hearing firsthand about their needs to respond to these evolving mandates in real time, we developed our Return-to-Work solution.”
DocuSign eSignature, which provides an efficient and automated electronic signature solution with a seamless experience for over 1 billion users, was the foundation for this effort.
Why Watch
Jackson is excited about the evolution of document processes from static to smart agreements. As the company evolved the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, it paid particular attention to enable how digital forms are evolving from simple “pictures of paper” into living documents, Jackson said.
“Often known as ‘smart agreements,’ they incorporate code and smart clauses that effectively bring them to life — connecting inputs from disparate computer systems, enabling actions to be taken automatically and helping missions to get accomplished faster, more cost-efficiently and with lower risk,” he added.
Jackson also views social impact as a big part of DocuSign’s future where its technologies can help bridge the persisting digital divide.
“Government’s mandate is to serve all people equitably,” he said. “That also means prioritizing enhanced accessibility for people with disabilities. I am inspired to help governments ensure that everyone can fully participate in the ‘anywhere economy.’”
