Jason Pistillo is the president of the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona. Our conversation takes us from Jason building his first computer game at the age of eight, to becoming a network engineer at 21, to his 23-year career at UAT. He has been recognized as a leader in business and was most recently given the East Valley Institute Technology’s “Sam and Olga Bender Award” for being a strong community partner over the past decade.
We cover a wide range of topics ranging from building a “fast, fun, friendly and smart” culture, instituting rigorous hiring practices, maintaining motivation and focus, investing in the community, and empowering staff. Jason also discusses why their culture of vulnerability among staff has made their team stronger, and so much more.
