At Full Punch, Jack combines book smarts with street smarts to lead the strategy department.

His experience has guided global and national brands as varied as Jack Daniel’s, Moosehead, Four Seasons, Amtrak, The Bahamas, WestJet, Credit Karma, Conoco Phillips, Rebel Girls, BC Hydro and University of British Columbia. Jack’s alter ego is a photography loving, cross-country skiing Swede born in Pemberton (his home away from home). As a master of Dad jokes, Jack is the perfect guy to fill some awkward silence at the beginning of the meeting.
