Je suis facilitateur en intelligence collective (nope, je ne suis pas coach agile ou scrum master), coach et formateur. Je suis issu de l’univers du jeu autant que celui du conte et j’ai mis les pieds dans le monde du soutien au management un peu par hasard. J’aime par-dessus tout travailler avec des groupes hétéroclites et les aider à trouver en eux les ressources dont ils ont besoin pour parvenir à réaliser leurs objectifs. Souvent je leur prête mes outils. Parce que les outils, ça se partage.
Je travaille principalement avec des chefs de projets et des managers. Je trouve souvent ma place entre les lignes.
L’inclusion et le bien-être sont des valeurs importantes pour moi dans le travail.

I originally went to college for graphic design but burned out. After changing majors and universities, I switched it up and went to film school. That didn't take either. I landed in tech by accident and fell into Agile the same way. 25+ years in tech later, I coach folks in the ways of Lean and Agile, but like how Mr. Miyagi did for Daniel.

I love to keep up with everything happening in the design world – be it graphics, interactive or even architecture. A graduate from NID, I founded Fractal Ink back in 1997 as a digital design studio. Always ahead of its times, the studio designed may of India’s firsts – Its first portal ‘Indiaworld’ that later was sold to Satyam, its first ever touch screen kiosk for Sun Pharma and many more.

Fractal Ink became Fractal ink Design Studio Pvt. Ltd. In 2011 as it joined hands with Tanay Kumar, Geeta Suthar and Priyanka Agrawal. Moving from strength to strength, Fractal Ink has won many accolades - Best User Experience Design Studio in the country by Pool Magazine, acknowledgement by Microsoft as User experience champions and multiple awards for other apps to name just a few. It grew into one of India’s largest Experience Design Studios. In 2016 Fractal ink got acquired by Dentsu Aegis Network, and in 2017 I decided to pursue other interests and retired from Fractal Ink.

As a design evangelist, I was one of the founding members of the Association of Designers in India (ADI) Mumbai Chapter. As someone who loves to share my knowledge, experience and insights, I teach short courses from time to time at various design institutes. As an adventurer, I travel with other car and motorbike enthusiasts across the country. As a technocrat, I experiment with 3D printing, laser cutting and lathe machines in my workshop. I indulge the musical side of me by learning to play various musical instruments on the Synthesizer.

His magazines reached a broad audience with titles such as Aspen Peak, Boston Common, Capitol File, Hamptons, Ocean Drive, Gotham, Los Angeles Confidential, Michigan Avenue, Philadelphia Style, and Vegas. These publications helped define the standard for regional luxury publishing and strengthened his standing in the industry.

Through these city-based publications, Jason connected with local audiences, ensuring that each magazine reflected the unique character of its location, including Miami, the Hamptons, and New York City. Niche Media also established a custom publishing division that produced materials for Art Basel Miami Beach, Wynn Las Vegas, and the Short Hills Mall on behalf of the Taubman real estate organization.

He was born in Roslyn Harbor, New York, and attended Boston University’s College of Communication. He values spending time with his family and children.
