About
I am a seasoned CTO with more than a decade of experience. But I am also a passionate developer and architect with even more years of experience. I am tech savvy and have an extensive software engineering background ranging from early stage start-ups to scale-ups with many teams in parallel. I have acquired and applied the organizational and leadership knowledge that is necessary to succeed in these environments since many years.
Furthermore, I love the process of continuous learning and mentoring and helping people to achieve their goals. I am looking to work with anyone who is just starting out all the way to experienced leaders who are looking to improve their careers.
I speak English, French and German fluently, so you can choose the language that you would like to use for the mentor calls and I will adapt accordingly.
I would be happy to schedule an introductory call to discuss your personal objectives and to see how I can help and support you to achieve them.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
When I stepped into a new technical leadership role, the learning curve was steep. I was navigating corporate politics, stakeholder management, team dynamics, architecture decisions, and delivery timelines, all at once. I needed someone who had been there, done it, scaled it! and could help me think through it clearly. Jason was exactly that. What stood out most was how he helped me understand the perspective of senior executives. How they think, what they care about, how to position yourself effectively in the room. That shift in perspective alone changed how I approached difficult conversations and conflict with other technical leaders. Beyond the interpersonal side, he helped me stay grounded in what actually matters: being data-oriented, feature-focused, and eyes-on-the-goal while maturing the architecture alongside the product. That balance is hard to hold, and having a thought partner who has done it as a CTO made a real difference. The sessions were conversational, never prescriptive. Jason listened first, then shared. That made the advice stick better because it was tailored to my actual situation, not a generic playbook. I will carry what I learned here forward. Would book again without hesitation.
