Jason has been part of Netmentora and our startup community since its start in 2017. Being a mentor, and actively involved in different projects, above all in ESG and projects with social impact, I appreciate his commitment with responsible entrepreneurship and the ecosystem, and his contribution to business development, based on his broad experience and insights of the industry.

Worked with Jason on an APEC initiative related to digitalization of e-government services. It was a great experience collaborating with him on a topical issue that will benefit our citizens, especially during COVID-19. Jason was very giving of his time and expertise, participating actively and sharing his deep knowledge on the topic with his peers. I am particularly appreciative of him stepping up to moderate and manage participants at a key discussion session at short notice, which contributed greatly to our development of relevant and useful policy recommendations. I look forward to continue working with Jason on the next stage of the initiative!
