Founder of 8Dflow
Jason Westland
Software founder with two decades building practical workflow tools for operational teams.
Jason founded 8Dflow after creating and scaling three successful online businesses, the most recent of which was ProjectManager.com. His customers have included NASA, the United Nations, Boeing, Microsoft, Apple, and Disney to name a few. He also brings hands-on quality management experience from major project and IT delivery programs, including roles at British Rail, New Zealand Police and ANZ Bank. Jason brings that same practical, adoption-first approach to manufacturing quality teams still managing 8D reports, NCRs, and corrective actions in spreadsheets and email.
