Jason Holmberg

Chief Data Officer and Executive Director of
Wild Me

Jason has logged thousands of hours of development time as Wild Me’s original Information Architect. Using Jason’s tools, our projects have been able to categorize and manage a large amount of wildlife data, promote collaboration across borders and data sets, and identify individual animals from multiple photos taken by different researchers many years apart. Jason was the lead author and population modeler for two widely lauded papers covering whale shark population trajectories at Ningaloo Marine Park in Western Australia. Through this, he demonstrated that citizen science data can provide improved insight and population models through the greater acquisition of high-quality data. Building on 20 years of experience in wildlife software, Jason now provides organizational leadership as Executive Director.
