As the grandson of Jimmy Carter, Jason carries forward a legacy defined by public service, diplomacy, humanitarian impact, and global leadership.
Founded by President Carter and Rosalynn Carter in 1982, The Carter Center has become one of the world’s most influential nonprofit organizations, advancing peace, democracy, election integrity, conflict resolution, public health, and human rights across more than 80 countries.
Under Jason’s leadership, the Carter family legacy continues to evolve for a new generation.

An attorney, business leader, and former Georgia State Senator, Jason brings a unique perspective on the intersection of leadership, family legacy, public service, and global investment.
