“I’ve worked with Jason for close to a year, both as an executive coach and across several focused engagements.
One of the most valuable pieces of work he supported was helping us define 9fin’s Product principles and and ways of working. Jason’s approach was thoughtful and methodical, combining structured thinking with deep empathy for the organisation. He took the time to engage team members on 1:1s, which allowed him to bring a balanced, fair, and grounded perspective into the discussions. The way he structured conversations was particularly effective—engaging, insightful, and enriched with relevant examples that helped teams see issues more clearly and objectively.
The outcomes were tangible. His work directly influenced meaningful product and organisational changes and played an important role in evolving how we operate day to day.
As a coach, Jason is equally strong: helpful, insightful, and highly action-oriented. He has a real ability to sharpen thinking and expand perspective, helping you see situations differently and make better decisions as a result.
I would strongly recommend Jason to leaders or organisations looking to evolve their product culture, ways of working, or leadership practice in a pragmatic and impactful way”
Moisés García – CPO @ 9fin
“We engaged Jason to assess the maturity of the product organisation, provide a set of recommendations in the form of policies, processes and training and to then bed these in with providing day to day guidance and support to the team (including training and mentoring).
Over a period of eight months, Jason helped level up the product organisation and mature our practices. He worked well with both the immediate team and wider stakeholders in the business. He delivered on several key pieces of work including training material, operating model and handbook. This supplemented product strategy refinement going on at the same time.
I personally enjoyed working with Jason and have appreciated his experience and perspective. As part of that, he has been a valuable sounding board to me personally. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any organisation that is looking to take the next step in evolving their product function.”
Nico Busch – Head of Product @ Xceptor
“Jason has been hugely valuable to the Risk Ledger team as we continue to grow and evolve the company. He did a thorough assessment of our product maturity earlier this year, speaking with leaders across the company and making pragmatic suggestions to help us level up. As we kicked off hiring our second PM, he was hands-on, screening candidates and joining in-person interviews to help us find the right fit. Any startup, no matter their product, can benefit from his independent view and advice!“
Daniel Saul, Co-founder @ Risk Ledger
“As someone with a non-traditional background to product management, Jason was tremendously helpful as a mentor to me and my team. He very quickly assimilated our business landscape and current trajectory and then proposed several concrete steps we could take in hiring, organizational practices and product strategy. Personally, he has been a great sparring partner who has shaped my ideas and given me new perspectives on product thinking and growth. He also has a very down-to-earth, pragmatic way of giving feedback that resonates with me – no BS involved. I’ve learnt so much from Jason and have gained confidence in my approach to product in just a few months and can definitely recommend him as a product expert, consultant and coach.”
Shuli Yu – Head of Product @ Judge.Me
“I had the pleasure of engaging Jason’s services to perform an independent audit of the product practices at KYC360 and subsequently head our Product team on an interim basis while we searched for the permanent head. From the outset, Jason demonstrated exceptional pragmatism and professionalism in addition to his understanding of Product Management.
Jason’s thorough and collaborative approach to reviewing the business provided invaluable insights and actionable recommendations. As the interim leader of our Product team, Jason was not only a strategic thinker but also a collaborative player-coach who fostered a positive and productive work environment.
One of Jason’s standout qualities is his ability to seamlessly integrate into a team and drive results. His leadership was instrumental in guiding us through the process of finding a permanent Head of the department, ensuring a smooth transition and setting a solid foundation for future success.
I highly recommend Jason’s services as a Product Management Consultant and Leader.”
Shankar Srinivasan – COO @ KYC360
“Jason was a guest speaker at our internal product conference. To say he went down well with our product community is an understatement, they absolutely loved him. Post the conference a lot of the delegates have been talking about how what Jason said to them really resonated, particularly lifting the theory out of the product books and having a pragmatic way of then applying that into the reality of a retailer. Even though he spoke in the morning, he then gave up his time to attend the afternoon and just chat to the team about product. Thanks Jason.”
James Leech, CPO @ Sainsbury’s
“A quick shout-out for Jason and his wisdom. He helped coach me as a long-in-the-tooth financial and actuarial professional transitioning to a product profession space as a director. I would have got there on the technical and reg stuff, but felt way out of my depth on CX, agile product leadership and how to get things done wisely and best.
Jason with his immense experience and appetite to be creatively challenging helped me think through some knotty problems. In all these and more there was a great mixture of technical and industry thinking and coming at the problem with its specific nuance: the toggling between the two was way better than either alone would be.
I would recommend Jason to anyone clever and curious but not well-versed in the Product space, even more so where they are open to challenge or interested in a sideways take on comms. I also appreciated his flexibility and openness to flexing discussion around events.“
Toby Hester – Director of Product @ Wesleyan
