About Me
I'm Jon, a professor, strategic learning leader, and consultant near Seattle, Washington. With over 15 years of experience, I help organizations navigate complexity through research-driven learning solutions that drive real impact in non-profits, NGOs, and higher education.
I specialize in developing human-centered learning solutions through effective leadership, contextual judgment, stakeholder empathy, and ethical reasoning. My approach combines rigorous research methodology with practical and scalable eLearning applications that serve thousands of learners.
I've authored 25+ peer-reviewed publications for publishers such as Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Routledge Publishers, managing the project from beginning to end, and organizing and presenting information for learners.
I bridge human insight with emerging technology, ensuring that technology and digital tools amplify rather than replace the critical thinking and emotional intelligence that drive organizational success. My work focuses on creating inclusive, accessible learning environments that build genuine capability and foster meaningful change.
