‘Jade is, without doubt, the best editor I have ever worked for. She beams with reassuring confidence, optimism and patience, which tangibly puts her team at ease and makes them feel part of her crew. In a competitive and highly pressured work environment, Jade’s lack of ego and ability to self-edit out of respect for her colleagues made our office feel grown-up, relaxed and efficient – the recipe for a very happy space filled with creativity, enthusiasm and fun. Her sense of fairness and her discretion when managing staff are both fantastic and inspiring qualities. During my time working with Jade I produced my best work, which goes to show what a brilliant manager, editor, collaborator, mentor and friend she was. The truth is that when I left that role, the hardest part wasn’t stepping away from a magazine I adored, it was saying goodbye to Jade.’
