Jason McCann

As the co-founder and CEO of Vari®, Jason McCann’s mission is to help companies create environments that elevate people, cultures, and communities. A lifelong entrepreneur, he has more than 30 years of experience building and running successful companies. He learned the importance of putting the customer first early-on while working in his mother’s hair salons as a child. Jason co-founded Vari (formerly known as VariDesk) in 2013, and the brand quickly became synonymous with sit-stand desks. Under his leadership, the company grew at an incredible pace, expanding to over 4 million users of its products across 120 countries. Today, Vari has grown into a workspace innovation company, providing everything high-growth businesses need to unlock the potential of their workforce. In 2019, they launched VariSpace, a multi-tenant ideation center, showroom, and campus designed to elevate the way businesses approach office. VariSpace is a space-as-a-service offering fully furnished suites, and flexible lease terms to enterprise-level clients. In 2021, Jason won CEO of the Year from D CEO Magazine, the award for 2016’s fastest growing company in the Dallas area at the annual SMU Cox Dallas 100™ Awards Ceremony, and in 2017 he was honored with EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year award alongside his co-founder and longtime business partner.
