Jason has more than three decades of global capital markets experience, spent at the meeting point of corporate borrowers and institutional capital providers. He has held executive leadership roles ranging from Head of Debt Capital Markets at a major Canadian independent investment bank to Head of Sales and Trading at leading global banks, and has been involved in capital raises totalling more than $100 billion.
In recent years his focus has been the underbanked middle market, where in the last 24 months alone he has personally helped secure close to $1 billion of debt financing for companies across a wide range of industries in North America and Europe.
His background is rooted in structuring, originating and executing complex credit solutions. He began his career trading global bonds at Bear Stearns, where he became the youngest trader in the firm’s history and one of the youngest bond traders globally. He then went on to build international high-yield, private debt, structured credit, and debt capital markets and advisory platforms in London, New York and Toronto. Throughout, the focus has been the same: optimizing debt structures and connecting issuers with the capital they need.
