Jason Harfield

Jason Harfield is a board director, advisor and former chief executive who has spent his career leading transformation in high-accountability environments where decisions must work not only on paper but in real time, under pressure. He is known for bridging strategic intent with practical execution, guiding organisations through complex change and disruption, including the impacts of the COVID-19 period.

Jason now supports leaders and boards navigating volatility, cultural reform and long-horizon transformation bringing a calm, systems-based approach that keeps humanity at the centre of change.

Away from the boardroom, Jason’s fascination with Italy, its history, landscapes and vineyards became more than a personal passion during the pandemic years. He went on to earn the Wine Scholar Guild’s Italian Wine Scholar certification and continues to study wine as culture, craft and leadership in liquid form. A Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, he brings a rare combination of governance discipline and narrative warmth to UNCORKED, inviting readers to taste what enduring leadership looks like: adaptable, authentic and shaped over time.
