He currently serves as an Adjunct Fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies and a Fellow of the Energy Institute, recognition reserved for individuals who have made a significant, lasting impact in the energy field. His recent role as an Economic and Geopolitical Advisor to the U.S. State Department and as adjunct faculty at the Joint Special Operations University speaks to the trust placed in his insights by both government and strategic institutions. Jason is also a prolific author and editor of 37 books, 15 of which are bestsellers, including “The Future of Energy” and “The Future of Agriculture”.

“Jason was a great speaker for our event, The Logistics World Summit & Expo, both on stage and off stage. He made a good connection with the audience and was accurate in sharing his expertise, a highly appreciated matter considering the complexity of the topic, which can be abstract and difficult to understand for a non-specialised audience.”
“Jason gave a talk on a Sunday morning to 60 invited guests prior to the F1 race in Austin. He was right on point and the feedback from who attended was very very strong. He did a great job!”
