I’m a data-driven product leader with over ten years of experience creating, measuring and iterating on digital products that strategically and intimately connect brands with their customers.
I take a documentation-first, collaborative, customer-centric approach to my work, always enjoy a challenge and learn from every obstacle. In each role, I have worked in a startup capacity within an already established company, worn many hats across program management, project management, and QA to optimize processes, and been a mentor for individual team members.
My roles have spanned across platforms including web, apps (iOS, Android) and CTV (FireTV, AndroidTV, tvOS, Roku, HWA), as well as free and premium products. I enjoy connecting backend and frontend including CMS and API components, paired with analytics implementation to measure performance, and continue to iterate over time leveraging key data and learnings. I’ve spent 10+ years in product management, and 5 years as an analyst before that.

“Jason and I worked together on the discovery+ product for Android, AndroidTV and FireTV platforms. He was a pleasure to work with and always acted as a leader, bringing forward the product vision, strategy and goals to align the engineering team.
He took a data driven approach to analyze when we should or shouldn't perform an action, and why. His passion and care for his team and the customer was evident in all of his efforts. We launched discovery+ from concept to launch in a constricted timeframe and continued to iterate on it together while expanding internationally. We even added amazing new features on Amazon like Prime Video Channels, Live TV and Profiles which proved successful engagement tools for customers, and launched discovery+ on Fire Tablet, meeting customers where they are. Jason paid close attention to detail and also understood platform nuances well. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated product lead.”

“As an Engineering Manager for the Yahoo Sports Android app I worked closely with Jason. He's one of the better product managers we've had. He brings his own product vision and innovation, is very much rooted in analytics and experimentation, and is flexible with expectations when that's required. Most importantly, he readily accepts feedback and is continually involved in bettering team processes. I'll miss our working relationship when he moves on.”
— Volker Neumann (Android lead on Yahoo Sports)
“Jason is a phenomenal Product Manager and leader. He and I clicked immediately when we both joined the Discovery+ team, right at the start of Covid. We both saw a dire need for a substantial Product and Design QA testing program in support of the global launch of the Discovery+ streaming service, so we took it upon ourselves to pitch it and then realize it. He was an invaluable partner in the endeavor, with me representing Design and UX and him representing Product. We shaped and iterated on team structure, process, standards, test scripts, workflows with Engineering, release management, you name it. We co-hosted group QA sessions, training sessions, and roadshows with leadership. He was also the lead PM for tvOS and fireTV platforms, so we rapidly iterated and rolled out process fixes with ease.
Working with Jason is simply a pleasure. He’s smart, experienced, opinionated, and demands excellence. He listens well, is a critical thinker, and knows how to get the most out of a team while having fun. He cares deeply about the customer and is masterful at balancing customer and business needs at scale. There’s no better Product partner IMO.”
