Scott Farquhar Wife Kim Jackson Is An Entrepreneur
Scott Farquhar and his wife Kim Jackson are officially a family of five.
Kim has over twenty years of experience in business and commerce.
She studied at the Australian National University from 1996 to 2001. She graduated with honors with both a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Engineering.
Even before she had graduated, Jackson had started working as a Technical Researcher in Sydney’s Motorola Labs, where she worked on zero configuration networking research. She only worked for the company for seven months.
Soon after her graduation, Jackson started working as an Analyst for Citigroup in Sydney. She worked at the company for three years in an investment banking position.
During this time, she also started her side project in music. She started her tenure as a Keyboardist for the alternative rock band KRILL from 2001 to 2008. The band saw a fair bit of success as they toured the Australian coast.
The biggest success for the band was that they performed at the 2004 Football World Cup. After winning the uncharted band competition, they signed with Sony. She would leave the band in 2008.
2004 was a big year for Jackson as she also started working as an Investment Director for Hastings Fund Management.
She worked at the company for over 13 years, and the company and her responsibilities within it gave her enough knowledge and skills to start her current venture.
In June 2017, she started her private investment company, Skip Capital, and has been running it since.

Scott Farquhar and his wife Kim Jackson have had three children together since they got married.
Farquhar and his partner are notoriously private about their relationship, especially regarding their children.
No pictures of Kim Jackson’s kids exist on the internet.
Many media outlets know as much about Farquhar and Jackson’s personal lives because of his 2017 purchase of the ancestral Sydney harbourside home, Elaine, from the Fairfax family.
The purchase was widely reported as the home was and remains one of the most beautiful properties on Australian soil. Standing at 75,200 square feet, the harbourside home had been in the Fairfax family’s possession from 1891.
