Bio
David Hardwick
Jason is passionate about quality, process, and people. Jason has the courage to point out the additional risks we are taking on when we start to rush to hit delivery dates rather than focus on the customer experience. He gets hands-on with the teams, he's not an ivory tower QA Director. He rotates among the teams to actually experience each team's quality practices, and he sources and implements ideas from his team members. Among the 8 technology leaders I had the opportunity to lead at BetterCloud, Jason had the highest empathy quotient. Additionally, he was the most focused on getting feedback so that he could constantly improve both himself and his organization. Please do not hesitate to add Jason to your organization.

Working with Jason was an absolute pleasure! In my time working with him at Allconnect, he was always an engaged, reliable, and valued team member. Jason could always be counted on to truly understand the real world impacts of what he was testing and his input and feedback were always welcome in making business and project decisions. Additionally, you can always expect Jason to have a positive attitude, even when working under the tightest of deadlines. He brought excitement, as well as a very high level of expertise, to his work and that cannot be discounted. I would enthusiastically recommend him any day!
