 Jason Packer of Delmar  was recently profiled in the Albany Business Review in a piece that highlights his  journey from leading his family’s third-generation business to launching Stride, a new peer-to-peer network built for families in business together.

In the article, Jason reflects on his time as CEO of Hill & Markes and the experience of navigating the sale of the business his family built over decades. While the decision to sell wasn’t easy, it sparked something meaningful: a desire to build the thing he wished he had during that transition — a space where family business leaders can find connection, clarity, and community.

That spark became Stride, a membership-based community designed to support families across generations, industries, and roles. The group is for founders, rising next-gen leaders, and non-family executives.
