Jason is a seasoned management practitioner with over 18 years' experience in brand, engagement, communications, social media, marketing and customer experience. Working in various sectors from local government and education, through to investment banking, IT and the dairy industry, Jason now leads Hamilton & Waikato Tourism as its Chief Executive Officer.
He recently completed his Master in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Waikato, and is an avid supporter of telling the Waikato story to everyone he meets, including active promotion of the #lovethetron movement. By day, he promotes all things Waikato from glowworms to hobbits, and by night he can be found tweeting & instagramming his latest foodie find as @WebTaniwha.
Jason will share why the mighty Waikato is now the 5th largest region for visitor expenditure in NZ, as well as some of the challenges and growth opportunities for Hamilton & Waikato to increase the value of tourism for the regional economy.
