Jim Head on Superpeer

Senior Digital Product Leader & Helper

I have direct responsibility for Operations, Delivery, People, HR and Recruitment at Reason. Indirectly I support Finance, Commercials, and Engineering. Prior to co-founding Reason 10 years ago, I had 15 years of experience as a dedicated Software Engineer & Technologist. Being a commercially minded practitioner, I can bridge the sometimes "technology & business" gap seen in the industry. I'm certified in Scrum & Kanban practices, for the ability of these frameworks to help achieve outcome-driven missions. I'm product minded, so looking for the 20% of work that gets us 80% of the value. I'm looking for insight that is actionable, not just interesting. I’m highly empathetic, and adaptable, can work across a business, and often play a facilitation role. Reason is about developing, creating and putting together new experiences and services for our clients. We are focused on their needs and those of their customers. My role is to support those efforts by nurturing and facilitating an environment that is high-trust, playful and productive, and to bring the right teams together to execute against outcomes. In the future, I want the people who have contributed to Reason to look back and think that it was the best place they had ever worked. Our people-centricity, diversity and openness are our secret weapons. Reason sold to Paragon in January 2022.
