Christian Mccarrick:

[0:18 ] Awesome Jason and we got to know each other a bit kind of last few months and that’s an awesome too but why don’t you give my listeners a little bit of background of kind of who you are and where you got to be where you are today.

Jason Wong:

[0:29 ] Yeah what’s up my name is Jason Wong I’ve been in the tech business for about 20 years now she got my start working in an IT office at my college,

I’m doing the whole HTML and JavaScript coding that turned into a full-time job are from there.

That got me to Yahoo for about 4 years work for Yahoo sports,

are the news editorial site moved back to New York after that and spent seven years at sea or I really.

I just got my teeth in management started mandating with three ended up overseeing a team 85 all of infrastructure development for free at sea.

After my time has been short amount of time a smaller company and then now I’m on my own doing some Consulting organization work leadership coaching and hopefully some some tea nice stuff is well diversity inclusion.

Christian Mccarrick:

[1:30 ] Accent will get into a little bit time or at the end about kind of what you’re doing now and how people cannot going to reach out to you for that but when you went into your first team three people with the best just got promoted to that suggestion get hired at Sea as a manager.

Jason Wong:

[1:44 ] Yeah she is started there as an engineer and I like to describe my career as a series of crises one after another.

Christian Mccarrick:

[1:50 ] It’ll never stop actually we just talk and I went today.

Jason Wong:

[1:55 ] And this made a crisis was we were growing rapidly and we needed to.

Start supporting folks asthma with the management team and I happened to have been approached for the opportunity,

I think like any startup we thought we would reinvent management and so it was Pitch to me as an idea it was like yeah you’ll have three or four engineers and that way you can still find time to code and do the things you came here for,

and I think three or four months later I had eight reports. 1 months after that I have 13 reports and then I never saw terminal again.
