At the core of Persona Global is a simple but powerful idea: organizations perform better when people communicate effectively. That principle has guided the company’s expansion across 70+ countries and a network of over 1,100 consultants. What stands out in Jon’s approach is the consistency of his model. Rather than chasing trends, he focused on building methodologies that scale globally while remaining human at the core. His emphasis on “high-touch” interaction, especially in an increasingly digital world, offers a clear counterpoint to how many consulting firms operate today. This conversation is particularly relevant for consulting firm owners looking to scale beyond themselves. Jon’s journey highlights how to build intellectual property, develop a partner ecosystem, and maintain quality across geographies, all while staying anchored in a clear point of view.**********************************************************************Proposed Interview Questions: 1.
