This isn’t just a corporate chat!
I’m joined by Jason Bloomfield, Global Head of Change and Experience Design at Ericsson. With 20+ years of experience across companies like M&G PLC, Prudential Financial, and MetLife, Jason’s been in the trenches of M&A integration, direct-to-consumer strategies, and organizational transformation.
Jason opens up about some real-life disruptions—like how his parents’ separation shaped his resilience and how he’s learned to turn big challenges into meaningful change. Whether you’re dealing with personal or professional transformation, Jason’s stories will hit home and keep you hooked.
