Strategy
Edgar, a co-founder, develops the strategy and vision that enables Imago to attain both its short-term and long-term goals. Overseeing the implementation of well-developed initiatives, Blunt ensures that both financial and operational growth are successfully maintained.
Prior to Imago, he spent over 15 years in a full-service Staffing, Recruiting, and Human Resources firm. There Edgar interviewed thousands job seekers and worked with hundreds of businesses to get a first-hand taste of the challenges and rewards of a successful career match.
As our resident “Student Activities Director” he has a great passion for people. He is energized by innovative collaboration, as well as getting down on the dance floor (with or without a karaoke mic).

Technology & Administration
Jason is an accountant turned programmer, serial entrepreneur, and a co-founder of Imago. He manages all aspects of technology, developing new and innovative systems for both in-house and client use. Shoulet’s responsibilities extend to accounting and legal, where he utilizes his 15 years of extensive strategic, analytical and technical experience.
Before Imago’s conception, he co-founded and sold two small technology companies and worked for a large regional public accounting firm consulting numerous Bay Area technology companies.
Jason works hard and plays hard. At the expense of sleep, he can be found consuming copious amounts of good food, enjoying great beer and spending time with his family and friends.

Creative
Jonathan was Employee Number One for good reason: he has the ability to wear many hats and juggle multiple projects at the same time. His responsibilities now focus on course production including e-learning, curriculum design, videography, studio engineering, UI design, illustration, and technical support.
Jon's career started in graphic design and has developed into multi-media production. Additionally, he has helped create and launch a number of successful marketing programs for organizations in a variety of industries.
It’s rumored Jonathan has a set of golden pipes, but this is a sight as elusive as his expense receipts, socks, and chin. You can bet that if something looks good around here, it’s because Jonathan, a.k.a. “the Beautiful One,” has touched it.

Philosophy & Psychology
Anthony is a philosopher by heart and researcher and designer by trade. He's responsible for relaying information with clarity and UX design.
Prior to Imago, Anthony conducted research in areas of education and psychology. Along with this, innovative thinking and testing, CBO administration and leadership, and graphic designing are sauces on the steak.
Anthony loves learning about breakthroughs and cool news in physics and technology and discussing its ethical/practical implications for people. He believes in an (informal/formal) education that asks existential questions and builds on pattern recognition and the sharing and connection of information.

Community & Partner Relationships
Michelle is responsible for all things community, both internal and external. She keeps customers, users, and the Imago team happily connected by creating and implementing the new customer on-boarding experience, end-user focus groups, midday brain-strolls and all-night company huddles.
Prior to Imago, Michelle has been a part of numerous teams and managed staff with nonprofit organizations. She is experienced in running programs focused on life skill development for both youth and adults.
You know that moment when you're on a plane and a complete stranger's mother asks you to her only son's wedding in Kampala, Uganda... and two weeks later you go? Those are the moments Michelle Wong LIVES for.

Community & Partner Relationships
As the newest member of the Imago family I use my passion for education and people to facilitate the deployment of our team's "secret sauce". I come to Imago after spending eight years in the non-profit arena working with people having the same passions for makingthis world a better place.
I love to play and learn with new and old friends.
