Hi, I'm Jason.
I help leaders make better decisions in the age of AI, and I write and speak about what that looks like in practice.
That work centers on AI governance, technology risk, and organizational culture: finding where AI creates real value, and giving leadership a clear, executable plan that respects the systems and people already running their organization. The strategic challenges are rarely technical: they are questions of organizational alignment, structural accountability, and trust.
This site serves as the central log for my writing and speaking, including panel discussions and fireside chats.
My perspective on technology governance was built across more than twenty years, starting with cross-border financial due diligence and regulatory compliance work for a major automotive restructuring in Germany and Slovakia, and continuing through leading and advising on large-scale digital initiatives, including cloud strategy and AI adoption with enterprise and public sector institutions at Google Cloud. Throughout, the focus has remained the same: bringing structural clarity and economic alignment to complex, heavily regulated environments.
This work has centered on modernizing the digital infrastructure behind major regional institutions: modernizing internal project-portfolio reporting for one of the nation's largest customer-owned health insurers, from stakeholder requirements through vendor selection and the business case that justified the new self-service reporting platform; unifying financial systems architecture for the City of Chicago and Cook County; and assembling the technology partners and consultants behind the Chicago Transit Authority's applied intelligence modernization, which expanded multi-language passenger access.
My approach to team alignment was shaped early as a walk-on member of the 1997 University of Michigan National Championship football team. That environment demanded rapid onboarding, composure under pressure, and a deep respect for the backstage execution required to win: values that remain central to how I guide corporate transformations today.
I serve as a Board Director for The Civic Federation and maintain active memberships in both The Economic Club of Chicago and The University Club of Chicago.
