JASON FOX
Award-Winning Product, Strategy & Growth Leader
Disruptive Innovation & Business Transformation Expert
CXO, 3x FOUNDER, Advisor, MentoR
11x WEBBY AWARD WINNER
FOLIO HALL OF FAME
I’m a product and strategy leader who loves solving hard problems at moments of change — whether it’s launching from scratch, turning around a legacy brand, or unlocking the next stage of growth.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve built and scaled digital businesses across media, marketplaces, e-commerce, and affiliate — with deep experience in AI innovation, subscription models, and monetization strategy. Along the way, I’ve led cross-functional groups of 150+, managed P&L's of $125M+, and helped both startups and global brands (like Consumer Reports, Time Inc., FOX, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal) move fast, think customer-first, and grow smarter.
Along the way, my work has earned 11 Webby Awards and a FOLIO: Hall of Fame induction recognizing digital media’s most visionary leaders. Whether building from zero or reinventing established brands, I lead with customer obsession, data-driven decision making, and a bias for action.
Currently, I’m a fractional CXO with a consulting business, JDF Strategies LLC. (Read about it below.)
In my spare time, I can be found traveling, skiing, hiking, running, reading, and enjoying good coffee.
