His career, built on a foundation of accounting excellence and expanded through executive leadership roles, reflects a lifelong commitment to value creation, operational precision, and meaningful partnerships.
Jason began his professional journey after earning his Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s prestigious Isenberg School of Management. With a minor in psychology, Jason quickly demonstrated his ability to balance technical precision with emotional intelligence—a hallmark that has continued to define his leadership approach. His early career years at KPMG LLP served as the crucible for his professional development, allowing him to hone a disciplined, analytical mindset while contributing to major audit and accounting functions across diverse industries.
As he moved into leadership positions, Jason returned to Eastern Overseas Marketing, initially serving as Corporate Controller and later rising to the role of Chief Financial Officer. During this period, he not only managed complex financial transactions, including Forex operations, vendor advances, and credit lines but also spearheaded the launch of a proprietary product line that generated over $5 million in new annual revenue. His ability to lead finance teams while also innovating on the commercial front speaks volumes about his balanced executive approach.
In 2017, Jason took a leap that would define a new era of entrepreneurial success: the founding of JD Boca Sales Company. This seafood distribution venture quickly scaled to a multi-million-dollar enterprise under Jason’s stewardship. His industry knowledge and global network enabled him to secure contracts with major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, and Seabourn. Amid the challenges of COVID-19, he demonstrated remarkable adaptability by pivoting the company toward frozen seafood distribution and retail channels—safeguarding profitability in a disrupted market.
Not content to rest on past achievements, Jason co-founded Centsible Solutions LLC, a fractional CFO and bookkeeping services firm dedicated to helping small and mid-sized businesses manage their finances more effectively. In this role, he delivers not just accounting services but high-level strategic insights, supporting clients in navigating negotiations, external financing, profitability analysis, and operational decision-making. Jason thrives in this space, where he can empower business owners through clarity and foresight.
Recognizing a growing need in the cold-chain logistics sector, Jason founded J Cold Operations LLC in 2024, launching a 120,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Brunswick, Georgia. Backed by UBS Bank and Condyne Capital Partners, the venture epitomizes Jason’s long-standing expertise in distribution and supply chain management. The facility is not just a business—it is a hub for innovation and efficiency, serving companies in food logistics, warehousing, and global import-export trade with a focus on precision and sustainability.
Jason’s impact stretches far beyond American borders. With deep experience in international trade, he has conducted business with partners in Canada, Mexico, Vietnam, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, the Netherlands, and the UK. His fluency in Spanish enhances his ability to connect cross-culturally and navigate global business dynamics. This global outlook not only strengthens his leadership but also broadens the opportunities he brings to the boards and businesses he serves.
He currently sits on the board of a nonprofit organization, reflecting his commitment to giving back and contributing to social impact alongside his corporate endeavors. A devoted hockey fan, Jason finds joy and focus in the sport’s strategic flow and team-driven nature—traits that mirror his own approach to business.
