Jasmine Redfern
Managing Director
Jasmine Redfern is an Inuk lawyer, facilitator, and governance leader from Nunavut. Her work sits at the intersection of Indigenous rights, public policy, community development, and systems change, with a particular grounding in Arctic, Northern, and Inuit contexts.
Jasmine brings two decades of experience working with Inuit, Indigenous, Northern, and equity-seeking communities across law, social policy, human rights, justice, youth programming, and organizational leadership. She has held senior and board leadership roles in spaces focused on Indigenous women’s advocacy, community-based decision-making, and institutional governance.
Jasmine is known for bringing a cross-sectoral lens to complex work, helping organizations connect community priorities, governance structures, policy conversations, and practical implementation. At Small Economy Works, she supports the organization’s next phase of growth, with a focus on partnerships, strategy, internal systems, and alignment with SEW’s Northern and Indigenous foundations.
She is especially interested in how entrepreneurship, governance, storytelling, and emerging technologies can support resilient, community-led futures across the Arctic and beyond.
Outside of work, Jasmine is usually reading, writing, travelling, learning languages, spending time with her children, or thinking about how law, culture, and imagination can be used to build more livable worlds.
