Jason’s consulting expertise was further developed through ESG strategy internships at Deloitte, TD Securities, and Interfor, where he excelled in leading industry research, sustainability reporting, and materiality assessments. His strong work ethic, professional communication skills, and technical expertise consistently left a meaningful impact on the teams and projects he contributed to.
