Influential Women Recognizes LeWanda Jackson: Leadership, Mentorship, & Excellence In Fiduciary Services

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Seasoned Fiduciary Professional Credits Mentors, Self-Advocacy and a Commitment to Inspiring Others For Her Continued Career Success

Wilmington, Delaware — LeWanda Jackson, a seasoned trust and fiduciary professional and Senior Manager with JTC Group, has built a distinguished career helping high-net-worth individuals and families navigate the complexities of trust administration and estate planning. With more than a decade of industry experience, LeWanda is recognized for her client-focused approach, leadership, and commitment to delivering exceptional service while maintaining the highest standards of fiduciary administration.

Her journey into the trust industry began with an unconventional career transition. As a single mother seeking greater stability and improved work-life balance, LeWanda pursued a corporate paralegal certificate through Widener Law after finding limited opportunities in her previous career path. A connection made through a Delaware paralegal networking event introduced her to the trust industry—an area she had not previously considered. That opportunity became the foundation for a rewarding career that has continued to evolve for more than a decade.

Throughout her career, LeWanda has held positions with respected organizations including UBS Trust Company, Bank of Montreal Trust Company of Delaware, New York Private Trust Company, Comerica Bank, and JTC Group. In her current role, she oversees the day-to-day administration of trusts, including distributions, tax considerations, and fiduciary oversight. Along the way, she earned her MBA and Accredited Trust and Fiduciary Advisor (ATFA) designation, further strengthening her expertise.

LeWanda attributes much of her success to the mentors who have supported and encouraged her throughout her professional journey.

“There are too many to name, but I have been lucky to have some really great mentors along the way,” she says. Their guidance, she explains, helped her recognize opportunities and build the confidence necessary to pursue leadership.

One of her most meaningful professional achievements came when a former colleague reached out about a leadership opportunity and expressed confidence that LeWanda would be an excellent fit. The recognition was particularly meaningful because LeWanda had been interested in advancing into leadership and was waiting for the right opportunity to emerge.

For her, professional growth also requires curiosity and a willingness to learn. The best career advice she has received is simple: never be afraid to ask questions. She encourages young women entering the trust and fiduciary industry to take a similar approach.

“Be a sponge and soak up as much knowledge as you can,” she advises, while also emphasizing the importance of advocating for oneself.

Mentorship has become a central part of LeWanda’s own professional philosophy. She mentors students in the University of Delaware’s trust minor program and supports the development of junior professionals within her organization. She finds particular fulfillment in helping others shape their careers and watching them succeed.

In addition to her professional responsibilities, she is deeply committed to community service. She is actively involved with the Delaware Estate Planning Council, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, and the Order of the Eastern Star, participating in scholarship initiatives and community outreach efforts.

At the heart of LeWanda’s career and service is a desire to inspire others. Whether guiding clients through complex fiduciary matters, mentoring emerging professionals, or supporting community initiatives, she strives to make a meaningful difference.

Her career serves as an example of how resilience, mentorship, continuous learning, and self-advocacy can transform an unexpected opportunity into a lasting professional legacy.
