    Jason was born into one of Sydney’s most successful and influential Chinese families and has fond memories of running around Sydney’s Chinatown after school. He was educated at one of Australia’s top selective private schools for boys and with his family’s network of connections, the world was his oyster.

    But his life didn’t play out the way that he thought it would and, influenced by a number of key people and events, he embarked on a journey involving lots of deep reflection and making plenty of personal adjustments.

    He has held multiple leadership roles throughout his career but believes that his most important and most satisfying role was being a stay-at-home Dad to his three daughters, which included upping his game as partner to his amazing wife.

    He works to improve technology leadership in not-for-profit, for-purpose and community-focused organisations and he now runs his own coaching & strategic consultancy practice, Tyger Technology Leadership, developing tech leaders of the future.

    He is a former president of his children’s school P&C association and is now the Board Secretary of the NSW P&C Federation, working with influential education stakeholders to improve public schooling in NSW.
