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, Marketing & Strategy Leader who drives innovation, subscriptions, and growth at pivotal moments — whether launching from scratch, transforming a legacy brand, or scaling a business to the next stage.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve helped media and marketplace businesses move fast and grow smarter. I’ve led cross-functional teams of 150+, managed P&Ls of $125M+, and guided startups and global brands like CNBC, Consumer Reports, Fortune, MS Now (formerly MSNBC), Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal to deliver customer-first, revenue-driving results.
Honored with 11 Webby Awards and a FOLIO: Hall of Fame, I’m most proud of building high-performing teams and products that leave a lasting impact. Whether starting from zero or reinventing established brands, I lead with customer obsession, data-driven decision making, and a bias for action.
Currently, I’m the VP, Product and Design for Versant (CNBC, MS Now, E!) and consult for a number of companies.
In my spare time, I can be found traveling, skiing, hiking, running, reading, and enjoying good coffee.
