Counsel from the High Ground

Jason Hancock

Founder & Principal

I'm a technology executive with over 20 years of experience delivering strategic leadership across CIO, CTO, CISO, and CDO functions in highly regulated industries. After serving as Division CIO at Octapharma and Head of IT & Digital Operations at Rise Plasma, I founded RidgePath Advisory to provide flexible executive technology leadership to CEOs and boards navigating growth, regulatory demands, and operational resilience.

My career started with deep technical work in IT infrastructure and evolved into broad strategic leadership. I am passionate about understanding business objectives and leveraging technology, data, security, and digital strategy to drive meaningful outcomes. This integrated experience allows me to operate effectively in CIO, CTO, CISO, or CDO capacities depending on the needs of the engagement.

I bring more than technical expertise to every client. My approach is grounded in core values shaped by my Christian faith, a commitment to taking care of people, and responsible stewardship of resources. These are reinforced by my background as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, where the values of honor, courage, and commitment continue to guide my work.

Outside of work I am a hobby homesteader who enjoys mountain biking, adventure racing, ultrarunning, and spending time outdoors.
