Prior to his roles at Rollick and Accelerated Advising, Jason was Chief Development Officer and a member of the executive team at OpenHouse Realty, a real estate technology start-up based in Santa Monica, CA. The company raised approximately $20M in Seed and Series A funding before being acquired by In-House Realty, a sister company of Quicken Loans in early 2017.
Prior to OpenHouse Realty, Jason spent 7.5 years at TrueCar.

During his tenure, Jason was responsible for prospecting, signing, launching and developing partnerships that today contribute over $75M in annual revenue for the business. Jason also served on TrueCar’s management team, which gave him exposure to several important strategic initiatives as well as fundraising efforts. In total, TrueCar raised more than $200M before its IPO in May 2014. Specific to the IPO, Jason served on the company's “IPO Readiness" team and prepared several materials aimed at helping investors understand TrueCar’s Partner channel.
Prior to TrueCar, Jason was a business development lead at TransUnion where he focused on expanding the credit bureau's business with financial services clients. He also spent time at Hill and Knowlton in a marketing communications role and began his career as a change management consultant at Accenture.
