"Jason provided the keynote address at the recent SAE North American International Propulsion Conference (NAIPC). Jason met with the organizing committee several times to ensure his presentation was powerful and on point with the tough issues faced by the executives in attendance. His presentation was both insightful and engaging, covering the economic impact of advancements in electric propulsion, hybrid systems, and internal combustion engines.
What set Jason apart was his ability to connect these technical innovations to the broader global economic landscape. He provided an analysis of how fluctuating energy prices, regulatory shifts, and economic factors will shape the future of the automotive industry, offering a comprehensive perspective that resonated with the executive-level audience.
Jason’s ability to blend technical depth with strategic economic foresight made him an exceptional speaker and industry leader."
- SAE North American International Propulsion Conference
"Jason spoke at the annual international gathering of the seaports and really wowed the audience with interesting topics on economics and supply chain. He was the consensus most interesting speaker of the event, and I've since kept up a really friendly relationship. Can't recommend highly enough."

"I have known Jason for several years over 2 organizations and his insight and analysis are second to none. He has taken the time to understand the goals of the ecosystems I work in to tailor his presentations to be effective for everyone. In the end, it's hard to find someone who can take dense data/information and present it in a way where everyone can appreciate, understand, and enjoy learning about the subject matter."
