With a strong belief that business and community values can — and should — be intertwined, Jason founded Aplomb Consulting. The company stemmed from Jason's desire to bridge his own experiences working in Corporate America with his passion for making the world a better place.

With an MBA from Stanford and more than a decade of experience in business and non-profit consulting, Jason assisted federal efforts to improve nationwide accountability of HIV/AIDS programs, wrote and implemented company-wide marketing plans, helped create statewide health departments create disease prevention guidelines, overseen research assessing nationwide HIV/AIDS needs of African-American communities, developed GLBT community relations programs, established and nurtured ties for companies with HIV/AIDS community activists and organizations, authored organization-wide strategic plans, launched new products and services, and created and implemented corporate visibility programs for Hewlett-Packard, Vermont CARES, the AIDS Quilt, Home Access Health, New York State AIDS Institute, Xerox Corporation, PlanetOut, AMFAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research), National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, and other organizations.

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and numerous other media outlets profiled Jason for research studies he designed and conducted. He was featured as a commentator on Public Radio International’s Marketplace radio program remarking on emerging trends in marketing to gay and lesbian consumer, and he has spoken at national conferences on the same subjects.

Over the years, Jason has hired and managed more than two dozen employees and/or contractors through Aplomb Consulting projects.

Jason served for six years on the board of the STOP AIDS Project, including two elected terms as President and one term as Treasurer.

Jason has been seen country-western dancing, working out at the gym, and performing stand-up comedy. He's received laughs in all three venues.
