For the last 10 years, Jon has used his unique blend of skills in finance, accounting, software and operations to help non-profits scale. Most recently, Jon helped Windmill Microlending – a non-profit provider of student loans to immigrants – grow their loan operations from $3.5M/year to $27M/year as its Director of Finance, Risk & IT.
Jon was also part of the team at Windmill that created one of Canada’s most successful Social Impact Bond offerings, with the bulk of the loan growth funded through the sale of these bonds.
An entrepreneur at heart, Jon has founded several software companies, including Ph03nix New Media – a Calgary-based game studio that produced a number of hit casual games with over 4 million players worldwide.
