Thoughts from Jason
Jason Woodson, Senior Associate at Foresight Strategy
“I joined Foresight almost a year ago after graduating from the University of Iowa with my Master’s in Business Analytics. In my short time here, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of projects for global brands. Whether it’s working with clients to execute long-term growth strategies or building predictive models to better understand consumer behaviors, no one project at Foresight is the same. I enjoy that each project challenges me to think in new ways and forces me out of my comfort zone!
Outside of work, you can catch me staying active in some way around the Twin Cities… working out, walking my dog around Stone Arch Bridge, or teaching classes at LifeTime!“
