“I’ve had the privilege of working with Provoke since its inception 20 years ago while I was at Microsoft NZ,” said Court. “Provoke has always delivered outstanding solutions, challenged the norm and guided customer ambitions to successful outcomes. I look forward to helping the team build on Provoke’s reputation for agile, customer-centric results across the private and public sectors in NZ, Asia and the United States.”

At Jade Software (2017-2019), Court led an executive team responsible for re-architecting and executing new sales, marketing and go-to-market strategies while launching a new customer-facing presence, in-country brand and product strategy. As a senior executive at Microsoft (2000-2016), he exceeded growth and customer satisfaction targets most recently for 11 consecutive quarters, led the organizational transformation to improve employee engagement and customer satisfaction, and contributed to Microsoft NZ’s global subsidiary of the year honor in 2016.

“Jason has already been an incredible contributor to Provoke’s success, so I’m delighted that he’s joined a senior leadership team aimed at even faster growth and high customer satisfaction,” said Provoke CEO Andy Lin. “His depth of knowledge, especially in the work we do with Microsoft clients, is unparalleled, and we look forward to seeing the impact he has in the APAC region.”
