Jessica Holden

Consultant - Anchorage

Jessica Holden is one of the newest consultants at Information Insights, although she previously worked for the company as a college intern and on special projects. She was part of the Information Insights’ facilitation team that conducted four regional FASD summits across the state, and she has also facilitated meetings for TCC management, the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, and several non-profits. She is currently providing support to the Alaska Tobacco Control Alliance (ATCA) and the Alaska Public Health Association (ALPHA) annual statewide Health Summit. Jessica co-authored an in-depth literature review of poverty measurement trends for rural and indigenous populations and proposed recommendations of how these trends should be considered when developing poverty measurement tools in rural Alaska.

Our Approach

We know that information is everywhere, but insight is not. We approach projects by forming teams of highly skilled and professional staff working in an open office environment that allows us to draw on our collective expertise in:

  • Alaska public policy
  • public health
  • housing
  • education
  • energy policy
  • economics
  • public finance
  • process facilitation
  • audience response facilitation
  • community development
  • organizational development
  • IT analysis
  • website design


One of our strengths is our breadth of experience with different organizations. We have completed over 450 engagements in twelve years of consulting for local, state and tribal governments, Alaska Native organizations, and a wide cross section of nonprofit and for-profit companies throughout the state.

Our experience allows us to design a project or process to reach the client’s unique objectives. We never use a cookie cutter solution. A high proportion of our clients return to us because of this ability and commitment.

Being a family friendly workplace is a key component of our corporate culture. In 2005, we were awarded a “Family Friendly Workplace Award” by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Early Childhood Development Commission.

If you have questions, please contact us.
