Jon Deragon - Leading UX Design in Vibrant South East Asia


Listen Later

Jon Deragon shares with us his UX design leadership journey in South East Asia, how to engage more effectively with stakeholders, and why we mustn’t let life pass us by.

Highlights include:

- How are UX designers like music composers and ER doctors?

- What is it like being a Westerner living and working in Vietnam?
- How do you get past “no” from other stakeholders?
- What characterises a product that is alive versus one that is dead?
- How do you get past your ego when things aren’t going well?

Who is Jon Deragon?

Jon is the Head of Design at FPT Software in Ho Chi Minh City, one of Vietnam’s largest IT services companies, with over 20,000 employees.

When Jon joined FPT in May 2020, the business was heavily engineering focused and design was only practiced informally. Now, after what must have been a wild ride, he leads a practice of over 50 talented designers.

Before joining FPT Software, Jon held several Head, and Director level UX positions at a number of top Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Australian companies.
