Jackie Wong (born April 11, 1982) is a New York-based consultant and analyst specializing in figure skating. He manages Rocker Skating, a platform that features blogs, tweets, merchandise, and produces the Ice Talk podcast on Ice Network. Wong’s insights include detailed technical evaluations as well as critiques of skaters’ costume designs and musical selections.
Before his current role, Wong was employed at the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and now serves as an associate consultant with McKinsey & Company. Having been a novice skater who successfully completed the U.S. Figure Skating juvenile level tests, he began his figure skating coverage in 2009 for Examiner.com. Rocker Skating was initiated in 2015 as part of his graduate business coursework at the University of Pennsylvania and has since gained sponsorship support.
Wong earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics and urban studies from Stanford University, followed by a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, and an MBA from Wharton School at Penn. He has contributed to biomedical research by developing 3D models that study the biomechanics of ice skating movements.
