As senior vice president for WordWrite, Jason's breadth and depth of experience are instrumental in helping our clients manage and solve the myriad communications issues they face today. Throughout his career, Jason has worked with a wide range of businesses and organizations, including Mellon Financial Corporation, Alcoa, Butler Health System, and the Oncology Nursing Society.

At Mellon, where he was part of the Corporate Communications Team before coming to WordWrite, Jason was charged with helping to reinvent the Fortune 500 company's employee communications. He did just that, bolstering credibility through improved storytelling and employee engagement. Working closely with senior management, he crafted internal communications that supported Mellon's key messages and helped employees to better understand the company's strategy. At the same time, Jason worked with the media and the public to raise their level of awareness of Mellon's charitable work in the community.

Prior to his work with Mellon, Jason used his daily newspaper reporting background to support public and media relations efforts as well as employee communications for Butler Health System. As the health system worked toward the possibility of construction of a new flagship hospital in the face of significant community opposition, Jason helped to tell its positive story of growth to the public, media and its employees through town hall meetings, the Internet, community-directed publications and internal communications.

At Alcoa, Jason enhanced his electronic communications skills, working with the Internet Technology Team and Corporate Communications to develop, enhance and maintain a comprehensive, multi-lingual Web site featuring hundreds of Alcoa products, along with its businesses and worldwide regions. As a copy editor and writer for the Oncology Nursing Society and a reporter for two Western Pennsylvania dailies, Jason developed the solid foundation on which his communications skills are built.

He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in journalism and is active with the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
