I’m Jason De Boer, founder of De Boer Consultancy. With over 30 years of diverse senior-level experience in publishing, information services, software and standards, we work with clients worldwide to deliver business development, strategic insights, competitive analysis, project work and back office support.
One of the things I have learned from running a small business is that success is rarely built alone.
Jason and Jemma at De Boer Consultancy have become a genuinely important part of how we work at The International Bunch. From business development and lead generation to research and admin support, they help create the space for us to focus, grow and keep helping our clients succeed.
As a Welsh company working with a French company, there is also something very fitting about a partnership built on international connection, practical support and shared trust.
That kind of partnership matters. Thoughtful and often quietly happening behind the scenes, but it makes a real difference.

Jason is one of the rare individuals who understands the intricate nuances of the research services world and continuously works to find the best solutions for clients.

Jason is a genuine professional who leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets. His combination of strategic thinking, relationship-building, and industry knowledge makes him stand out. He has a natural ability to make people feel comfortable while driving meaningful outcomes. I’m grateful to have found a mentor in him and have no doubt that he will continue to achieve great success in everything he does.
MOUNIKA TULA, FOUNDER AT AVOLVE AND SENIOR OPERATIONS SPECIALIST AT AMAZON AND KRIYADOCS
Many of our assignments are confidential so, whilst we can’t name the clients in question, our work has included delivering a competitive analysis report for a major OA publisher in a very short turnaround time; co-authoring a white paper on AI for one of the world’s largest scholarly publishers; advising a tech startup on its pricing strategy; and providing project support for a major independent scholarly publisher undertaking a large scale platform migration.
We have also worked with Kriyadocs, CHORUS, scientifyRESEARCH and The International Bunch on various retained assignments and projects.
During his 30-year career, Jason has held senior sales roles with Aries Systems, Elsevier, OCLC, The Charlesworth Group, Kriyadocs, Thomson Learning (Cengage) and the British Standards Institution (BSI). He is a CIPD qualified trainer. Over the last decade Jason has been helping publishers to optimise their editorial and production workflows, including peer review, submission, integrating new tools and author services. Jason founded De Boer Consultancy in spring 2023.
Jemma De Boer, consultancy associate (and Jason’s better half), leads our desk research and administrative support services. Jem brings experience from numerous PA roles and client-facing outreach roles in charities and local government.
In 2020, on the cusp of Brexit, Jason and Jemma relocated from the UK to rural France, which is where their home and business is now based.
