Jonathan Wason grew up in New Hampshire and went on to attend Johns Hopkins University, where he majored in Economics. He began his career as a Business Intelligence Consultant managing project teams to help clients design, develop and implement techonology and processes to make better use of their data. He then shifted into a more strategic role, working as an IT Transformation Consultant where he aided lead project teams and advised executives in areas of business intelligence, IT organization, governance and portfolio management.

Currently, Jonathan works for a Boston investment firm in their technology group where he leads systems analysis and works to develop and implement technology solutions that address complex business problems. He helps drive strategy discussions with business groups to assist in overcoming business process issues in concert with technological solutions.

Although he is involved in technology in his daily professional life, Jonathan's involvement with the EduSophia Foundation allows him to look at the role of technology in very different ways. He has a keen interest in the use of technology in education. He is excited to work toward connecting schools, teachers, students and technologists together to increase knowledge sharing and awareness of beneficial technology and hopes that this discourse will lead to more effective use of technology and better integration into the learning environment.

Jonathan resides in Boston with his wife and enjoys skiing, sailing and scuba diving.
