2016 , for his incredible track record of professional achievement in HR .

Beginning his career as an HR generalist , Jason has worked his way up through the years to become Director and eventually Chief Human Resources Officer . Jason also held the position of Chief Human Resources Officer at the U . S . House of Representatives for nearly 10 years .

One of his many accomplishments was to help the Deputy Chief

Administration Officer turn around the struggling payroll and benefits team — a problem that needed a speedy resolution . Jason worked tirelessly to stabilise the organisation and once again proved his value .

His project management skills were put to the test , and Jason led the turnaround , earning the respect of his peers , management and stakeholders on Capitol Hill . I can confidently say that we have the best Human Resources Executive in the industry .
