#216 Jason Bloomfield: Change Consultant by Day, Resilience Expert by Life


Listen Later

Change isn’t just a business buzzword—it’s a way of life. Jason Bloomfield, Global Head of Change and Experience Design at Ericsson, has spent over 20 years navigating the twists and turns of M&A, corporate transformations, and direct-to-consumer strategies. But his most valuable lessons didn’t come from boardrooms—they came from life itself. From childhood challenges to corporate shake-ups, Jason shares how resilience, adaptability, and a little bit of humor can turn even the toughest transitions into opportunities.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

0:36—It's All About Giving Back

4:02—From Upper Middle Class to Crash Course in Adulting: Why Unwanted Life Experiences Can Be Your Best Teachers

“I was in the middle of high school, where focus on study really needs to ramp up. Instead, I was learning home economics by necessity and dealing with my parents’ rapidly deteriorating relationship.”

14:04—Building Resilient Relationships: Navigating Anxiety and Fear During Mergers & Acquisitions

17:26—Being human: How is it possible to scale empathy to 100,000 people across 180 countries?

24:44—Navigating Company Pride: When Heritage Turns into Hurdles

“It’s quite a thing to come into a company that has 140, 150 years behind it. Pride can at times obscure a line of sight on the way forward.”

31:11—Asking the Right Questions: The Surprising Reasons Retirees Didn’t Want to Go Paperless

“We thought retirees were less digitally comfortable, but it turns out it was a trust issue—without something physical, they feared companies might alter their records behind the scenes.
