Hello, I'm Jay.
I'm a serial tech startup founder and venture builder, equally comfortable reading both code and a P&L.
I'm currently the Managing DIrector of Launchgarage, an open innovation agency and ecosystem accelerator in Manila, and have been CEO of Proudcloud, an agile software development firm, since 2009.
I randomly write about startups, innovation, code, and digital society on my Medium, and ramble mostly on LinkedIn, BlueSky as @jayfajardo.com, or X as @jayfajardo.
I'm a fractional CxO.
Occasionally, startup founders reach out to me for help at fractional C-level roles, for 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'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, Geeks on a Beach, Echelon, and APEC.
