Hello, I'm Jay.
I'm a serial tech startup founder equally comfortable reading both code and a P&L.
I'm currently the Executive DIrector of Ideaspace Ventures, an early stage VC in Manila, and have been running Proudcloud, an agile software development firm, since 2009.
I randomly write about startups, innovation, code, and society on my blog, and ramble mostly on Twitter as @jayfajardo more than anywhere else.
I'm a fractional CxO.
Occasionally, startup founders reach out to me for help as a fractional Chief X Officer, where X is strategy, technology, product, or all of the above. I also sit on the board as director, advisor, or mentor for a number of technology startups.
Feel free to reach out for help by connecting with me on LinkedIn.
I've been known to be inspired by opportunities for meaningful and impactful use of technology.
I'm also a technology consultant.
I also consult on digital transformation, technology strategy, architecture, and startup ecosystem development.
I do this personally, through Konnektiv GmbH, or with my cool colleagues at the Global Innovation Gathering.
Speaking
I speak regularly on technology, business, and social innovation, in conferences, forums, and lectures globally, at venues such as re:publica, AsiaBerlin, RISE, Websummit, and APEC.
