Meet Our CEO
- Simone Clarke, The Comms Queen
Simone Clarke is an accomplished Communication Specialist with over 25 years of broadcast experience and over a decade of corporate communication experience.
Her career in media began at the age of 18, as the host of the then popular television youth show, ‘Rappin’. With the gift of gab, complemented by her love of life, her work would open up new opportunities, paving the way for Simone to freelance with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC). There, she learned from the very best in the business as she became proficient at production and presentation.
Though she entered the corporate world years later, she never abandoned her love for broadcast. Instead, she skilfully juggled both interests, Chief Communication Officer at GraceKennedy Ltd. and TV host at Television Jamaica. She gained extensive experience in event management and Public Relations and rose to the pinnacle of her career at GK.
Today, Simone holds a Master of Arts Degree in Communication, with distinction, and continues to comfortably wear many hats in the industry.

Simultaneously, viewers are inspired to extend grace and find community.
