Jason supported me for some confidential M&A work whilst I was at MLC Life. Jason’s work was invaluable for a robust understanding of the underlying financials. He quickly grasped the underlying complexity and commercial drivers and could build strong, easy to understand financial models. Jason is great to work with and he has a natural understanding of what is important. I strong endorse his actuarial capabilities in a range of applications.

Jason supported the team in a BAU backfill role, where we threw many varied items his way across different clients in Australia and NZ. Jason was very professional and proactive in his approach, efficiently addressing key issues and quickly/openly calling out critical/complex items, ensuring deadlines were met without surprises.
