Jason Smith

“Jason is an especially well-rounded HR professional; grounded with his content in all critical areas, and able to integrate that knowledge to provide value at a strategic level with leaders in the organization. I hired Jason for his role at St. Joseph’s as a strategic HR partner for a large and complex part of the organization encompassing outpatient, community health functions as well as all business functions. His background in business as well as health made him a great fit. Jason has an impressive academic foundation in HR from great institutions. He also has keen intelligence from both intellectual and emotional perspective, allowing him to be adept in reading organizational issues, people and culture. With this combination he was able to enter St. Joseph’s easily and pick up on his client groups’ strengths and challenges quickly. It was especially enjoyable to collaborate and analyze organizational challenges with Jason. I found him to be a fully engaged listener, asking insightful questions, and trying on all perspectives; he is empathetic and intuitive. These qualities not only were helpful to me as we collaborated and strategized, they also instilled trust of the customer. Jason brings an extraordinary combination of seasoned organizational perspective, strategic mindset, and a personal quality of genuineness. He is an organizational asset! ”

“I had the privilege to work with Jason at The Raymond Corporation when we were both marketing segment managers there. His extraordinary business savvy, analytical abilities and interpersonal skills made him a key asset for our team. He could break down complex problems into manageable parts to craft elegant, but practical, solutions. He’s a superior communicator who can connect with people at all levels in an organization. It was a real pleasure to work with Jason. ”
