To create a culture of caring, Jason uses tools sharpened as a partner in a global consulting firm, where he managed organizational transformation initiatives inside leading companies across various industries, non-profits, startups, and more. He deploys communications strategies shaped by his time as founder and principle of an intellectual property management firm, packaging stories for commercial markets. He leans heavily on research into behavioral economics, environmental psychology, Lean Startup, and narrative intelligence. He’s interested in how humans make decisions and form habits, how they make sense of those decisions in real-time and retrospect, and how leaders help guide and better those behaviors with authenticity.

Jason is a graduate of Harding University, majoring in English, along with a Graduate degree in English Literature from Fordham University.
