Jason Jedlinski
Transformational Leader and High-Impact Change Agent
I’m a people-focused President/GM who helps companies at crossroads adapt, grow and thrive.
Navigating Change
My change management playbook helps employees, customers and boards “turn corners” together. Experience has taught me that all three must be successful to achieve sustainable growth.
Change is uncomfortable for employees and customers. It’s also risky for businesses—often leading to expensive failures and missed opportunities.
I thrive in those headwinds and run in when others run away, eagerly embracing uncertainty and bringing clarity to chaos. I’ve helped teams effectively navigate everything from hyper-growth to bankruptcy.
Proven Performance
Speed to Market. At Nexstar: Launched The Hill TV in less than 90 days; expanded distribution to LG, Roku, Vizio, etc. in the following quarter; won Best Streaming News Service (Cynopsis) and nominated for Best FAST Channel (Digiday) shortly thereafter.
Accelerating Revenue Growth. At The Wall Street Journal: Designed and executed cross-functional growth initiatives which helped fuel $20+ million in incremental digital subscription revenue by making products and experiences “stickier.”
Employee Engagement. At Gannett: Quintupled employee retention and achieved engagement scores 45% above the company average by understanding people’s unique superpowers and putting them in positions well-suited to their strengths.
Competitive Positioning. Helped an adtech startup achieve its first profitable quarter in ten years by reimagining product marketing, improving content marketing, better-articulating competitive advantages, and restructuring pitches to reflect market feedback.
Product Strategy. At Gannett: Evolved the product roadmap from “top-down” mandates to data-driven experimentation for a portfolio of 500+ websites and mobile applications — including USA TODAY — reaching 150 million monthly unique visitors.
Serial Intrapreneur. At Tribune Company: Pitched, launched and operated two new, multi-million-dollar B2B businesses during bankruptcy — generating incremental revenue by licensing existing assets.
