Jacqueline Ontekotse Portuondo

Founder

Jacqueline Ontekotse Portuondo is a strong willed, self-motivated individual with a drive to provide a high standard of customer service delivery, having a strong discipline in hotel management training through Cresta Group of Hotels in Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe. She has also worked and gained experience in the advertising industry; working for Horizon, Saatchi & Saatchi and Optimum McCann Erickson. In 2000, I took a giant leap of faith and established my own company, subsequently founding JL Communications in 2010.

My excellent communication skills makes it easy for me to listen and ask the right questions to find out exactly what the clients are searching for. Once I know what a client expects from the event, how many guests will be invited, VIP attendance and so forth, I can then move to coordinate the event to match the client’s description perfectly.

I have the experience needed to determine what type of facility should be used for the event based on the number of guests and the exact nature of the event; furthermore I have the connections needed to contact the best vendor services for the event, while staying within the allowed budget.

I possess outstanding leadership and management skills that make it easy for me to put together all types of high level events in a timely and efficient manner working alongside my dedicated and hard-working JL Communications’ team. My astute professional skill set and industry knowledge is invaluable to any client I work with.
