About Jason

As an outcome orientated Product Leader, I have a distinctive approach for creating product visions that drive user engagement and value for organisations.

Forever curious, I am passionate about empowering teams, defining clear strategic roadmaps, and building high velocity delivery cultures that turn data into growth and user value.

My leadership experience spans diverse sectors including defence, central government, consulting, healthcare, publishing, and insurance.

Outside of work, I'm either spending time with the family or out running long distances.
