JASON MARTIN
My background spans 25 years building corporate learning strategy, leadership pipelines, and organizational effectiveness systems at companies including Home Depot, Hughes Telematics, and Verizon — including leading the training rollout for an operational model that changed how 150,000 employees did their jobs, and certifying Master Trainers to sustain that change at scale.
For 10 years, I’ve also coached U.S. Special Forces personnel through the transition into civilian careers — work that gave me a front-row view of how military leadership translates (and doesn’t) into business environments, and deep relationships across the veteran-owned business community.
Today, I work as a fractional advisor — typically through focused 90-day strategic engagements or ongoing fractional retainers — helping leadership teams get clarity on leadership development priorities, talent systems, and organizational readiness for growth. This is advisory work: I bring judgment and strategic direction; your team (or your existing partners) leads execution.
I’m also the author of Never Trust a Happy Dinosaur, co-founder of FindAFitt Career Compass, and a certified practitioner in Clifton (Gallup) Strengths and Situational Leadership.
