OUR STAFF
LINDA JACKSON
TEAM FOUNDER
Former Investment Banker, Linda represented Canada in the 1996 Olympics. Linda founded Team TIBCO - Silicon Valley Bank to give opportunity to developing riders and raise the level of cycling in North America. The team is now the longest-running women's professional team on the continent.
Teamwork is everything in cycling. Our team of managers, sport directors, massage therapists, mechanics, staff and cutting-edge partners are working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure riders are empowered to be their best with top-of-the-line equipment.
Since being founded by Linda Jackson in 2004, the team’s mission has been to help aspiring female cyclists achieve their dreams of becoming top International competitors.
Supporting that goal, our directors and staff members are passionate about the sport of cycling and building the communities around the team. They put in the long hours and go the distance (literally sometimes) to make our team a success.
