About Jason Waggoner

Entrepreneurial business leader leveraging two decades of brand building, operations, and finance experience to drive dynamic growth results at blue chip, midsize and startup enterprises.I believe that strong businesses, brands and operations are underpinned by healthy P&L fundamentals and that business leaders must first and foremost \"mind their shops\". My leadership style emphasizes placing data in the hands of operators and empowering those on the front lines to make decisions that achieve the best and most appropriate outcomes.My approach to brand building is to create unique experiences always tying back to the brand and products. The operations of those brands must support the innovative ways those businesses go to market. That said, wherever possible, a breakthrough brand will show up in \"surprising, yet expected\" ways. A trick easier said than done. At the end of the day, striking the right balance is critical. Strong businesses must stand on their own and both understand and respect the value they bring to the market.
