About
Hi. My name is Jason Toff and I'm a Group Product Manager at Google working on Virtual and Augmented Reality. Previously, I was a Director of Product Management at Twitter and General Manager at Vine. Before that, I worked at YouTube, Gmail, and Chrome.
Outside of work, I serve as the Vice Chair of the board for PALS Programs, a non-profit that creates summer camps and programs for teenagers with Down syndrome. In general, I love creating things, working with nice people, and hanging with my son.
