About the Author: Meet Jason Masters

Executive, Author, Independent Board Member, Church Leader

Jason Masters is the Managing Director of a boutique management consulting firm based in Australia. Focusing on the integrity of commercial transactions, he is an independent board member across a wide number of industries: financial services; medical regulations; pharmaceutical start-ups; cemeteries; and corporate giving programs. He also chairs numerous audit and risk committees for the government and not-for-profit or private sector organisations.

Jason has a Bachelor of Economics (Economics and Computer Science) from Flinders University in South Australia and is a graduate and Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He is also a Professional Fellow of the Institute of Internal Auditors (Australia), certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) (ISACA), certified in Risk Management Assurance—from the Institute of Internal Auditors—and in the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. He previously co-authored the international landmark book Computer Security in Australia.

Writing his book, "A Journey Towards Acceptance: An Evolving Memoir", he has tapped into his passion as an accidental activist, which stems from his desire to help those in need—especially those who suffer prejudice within a minority group. Coming out as a ‘gay executive’ and a Christian has been a long and arduous journey. However, through writing his memoir, he uncovers how the road to success is to live a life of acceptance by breaking down stereotypes, crossing boundaries and believing in the fundamental truths of survival.

As an author, Jason shares a story that will not only help executives across the globe, but will empower the youth of today to live a life they were born to have and to own. As a basketball enthusiast, he has inspired his community with his coaching. As a church leader, he has been a Sunday school teacher, a youth leader and an elder in his local parishes through regional, state and national council roles.

Jason the executive, and now Jason the author, hopes to offer his story as an inspiration to those who fear the unknown as he did. His life journey led to his passion for social justice being more focused on the needs of the LGBTIQA+ community in addition to other justice issues. He has worked hard to reintegrate his life as a family, religious and business man, and part of his road to success has been finding his own unique voice in all components of his existence. Coming out as an author—and his bravery as a Christian to publish his story—has driven Jason to live a life of fundamental acceptance for himself and for the world around him.
