About Me
My name is Jonathan, but you can call me Jon. I began my career in forestry, learning how to balance sustainability, negotiation, and community impact. I transitioned into procurement and enterprise automation, where I led multi-million-dollar digital transformation projects and mentored global teams.
Today, I work as a Pricing Analyst in the medical equipment manufacturing industry, supporting pricing operations through data analysis and process automation. Through Double Tree Industries, I also deliver consulting and personal branding services to help businesses modernize their operations and professionals share their story with clarity and impact.
Whether in forests, conference rooms, or digital landscapes, my work has always been about connecting people to the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to thrive.
