Jason did a spectacular job for us as a featured speaker at an “Energy of the Future” type dinner. Jason is engaging, super smart, current, fun, and obviously a great thinker and strategist. We love working with him and consider him a HUGE FRIEND of the firm.

Tudor, Pickering, and Holt

Jason has been providing my company with valuable insights for several years. He serves in a sense as the "Chief Economist" keeping us up to date on global macroeconomic trends and how they tie to factors that effect our business. His financial forecasting is an important tool we use in considering our future portfolio strategies. Jason understands our business and helps paint a picture of the economy tailored specific to our companies needs. Jason's unique skills as a futurist also help to identify future trends that may impact our business whether it's fintech or advances in AI. I enjoy listening to his weekly podcast.

Vistra Energy

I have worked with Jason for over five years and am always impressed with his insight. Jason is a true economist, moving fluidly across subjects and industries, but always tying views back to the big picture. While his written pieces are top-notch, his speeches, podcasts, and office discussions truly set him apart from his peers. I highly recommend Jason and Prestige Economics.

Jason is one of the most intuitive, insightful and dynamic people in the energy forecasting space. He incorporates complex micro and macro variables and events to support his commodity price forecasting and his track record of success speaks for itself.

The services provided by Prestige are an important part of our strategic and operational planning process.

I had an opportunity to work with Jason Schenker when I was running market research team. He did an excellent job of explaining market direction and helped us create our perspective. He is a very hardworking researcher and was always available when we needed him. He was also running quarterly surveys, and so he was measuring the sentiment of the market in the short term. I strongly recommend his work to any executive who wants to gain a perspective on the market and understand market forces.

His message was clear, his views were forthright, and his delivery was engaging.

Robots and artificial intelligence are hot topics today. Last summer, Jason gave our Town Hall Los Angeles members informative, insightful glimpses from his new book, Jobs for Robots - Between Robocalypse and Robotopia. Jason tailored his presentation to the audience, mostly individuals and institutions from the private sector, and highlighted data and trends relevant to the greater Los Angeles region. Many attendees complimented Jason on his presentation's quality — everyone learned a lot, we laughed too, no one was bored!

Town Hall LA

Jason delivered a dynamic and highly entertaining speech to a crowd of over 50 financial industry experts, academics and media at a Retirement Security Summit hosted by the Alliance for Lifetime Income.

I had the pleasure of working with Jason on AICPA's ENGAGE which went digital for the first time this year. He came highly recommended and proved to be one of the most polished and professional speakers I have worked with.
