With over 20 years of experience as a career coach and management consultant, Jon is the Founder of Kwantum Leap Group, the former Executive Director of the Southeast Asian Association of Graduate Employers (SEAAGE), and an external career advisor to many of the world’s top business schools.
Currently, he’s fascinated by the idea of applying Design Thinking principles to individuals in their careers. This human-centric approach helps you further your empathy and forces you to not just sit back and research options, but to get out there and take action. He believes this approach will be a game-changer, especially as everyone continues to think about the Future of Work, and re-imagines how careers will take shape in the future.
Having had the fortune to live and work on 3 separate continents, Jon is excited to have recently returned home to Toronto after 15yrs in Asia. Outside of work, he is the founder of Audacity, a movement that provides role models and encourages youth to not be afraid of following the road less travelled during their careers.
Jon holds an MBA from INSEAD and a Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours – Co-op) in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. In his spare time, you can find him honing his “radio voice” on livestreams & his career podcasts, “Cutting Through The Noise” & “Audacity: Career Stories from the Road Less Travelled”.
