“I do not exaggerate when I say Jason is the best manager Ive had in my 10+ year career. He’s not only a absolute positive force and an absolutely super nice human being, but also an exceptional leader, people manager and has an incredible eye for design. And smart quotes! Jason fostered happiness and effectiveness in our team with calm, committed leadership, transparency, and brought humility, patience and utmost care and empathy. He provided our team with autonomy and trust in our roles, while also uplifting us in the company and being there when we needed support by providing super clear, thoughtful and actionable feedback. He led by example and created an environment that nurtured my own and my teams growth, creativity, and success while ensuring we were aligned with the broader goals of the company. Jason always supported us and had our back. Under Jason’s guidance, Ive been fortunate to shed imposter syndrome, largely due to his approach of granting autonomy and trust. His belief in my capabilities by positively challenging my skills and pushing my creative boundaries, and encouraging growth and innovation, has enabled me to embrace challenges with newfound confidence and contribute more effectively to our teams success, even so by empowering me to mentor and co-own the product design team leadership. I’ve told this to many people, and to Jason himself too—“he is the calm buoy in the sea of overwhelming”. Another thing Ive said—I would absolutely follow him anywhere. Thank you Jason 3”
