Portrait of Jason Leonard

Jason leads the IBM Consulting AI & Analytics Practice for Australia & New Zealand. Jason is responsible for ensuring successful business outcomes for clients that span across industries including natural resources, banking, insurance, utilities, telecommunications and public sector; he helps clients understand the applications of AI to their business and is responsible for the ongoing growth of skills of the consultants in his practice. Jason commenced his career in AI from the early 90’s, and turbocharged his career with a Masters in Applied Science (AI) from RMIT University.

As an RMIT alumni and an employer, it is both a pleasure to provide input into the educational direction of the AISSC using the business drivers and challenges I have been exposed to as a result of engagements across a wide variety of industries, augmented by my experiences running a sizeable and growing business for a large globally integrated organisation.
