“I always felt secure and confident in any negotiation in my role as Chief Information Officer of Putnam Investments because of Jason Tucker’s sound advice. Jason was a grounding force, meticulously researching and reviewing background information, and consistently providing guidance that enabled me to make the best decisions for our company.

Jason is a rare gift, offering more than he ever lets on. He is kind, humble, and thoughtful, yet strong and confident.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jason since 2004, when we both started at Putnam Investments, through the middle of 2025. Over the last few of these years, when I served as General Counsel, we worked even more closely, including during the period of Putnam’s acquisition by Franklin Templeton, which closed in 2024. Over the years, I witnessed Jason guide our company in navigating a variety of complex issues, ranging from regulatory inquiries, high stakes litigation, and critical employee matters to run of the mill commercial disputes, business counseling, and risk avoidance.
Throughout, Jason applied a combination of keenly honed instincts for avoiding trouble through wise counsel with a singular moral instinct and a fierce ability to fight when called to do so. He faced off with countless outside counsels, regulators, and counterparties of all types, and used his legal acumen, writing skills, and dogged determination to pursue his clients’ interest with success. Jason is also an excellent listener—his ability to “read” an individual is unmatched, and of great value in sorting through complicated and sometimes unclear matters to understand the crux of an issue. In addition to his skill set, he’s a great collaborator and colleague. I recommend him as a trusted advisor in his field."
