Strategic MedTech and SaaS Consulting for Select CEOs

Everyone's focused on AI in their products. Almost nobody is talking about how AI is reshaping their own organizations. The Executive AI Roundtable is where operators compare notes on the strategic shifts that don't make the pitch deck. No vendors, no pitches — just real answers.

What Leaders Say

From founders, mentors, and conference organizers

John has always been quick to respond to our inquires with his wealth of knowledge and network of subject-matter experts. In addition, he's transparent on what he can provide advice on and when he would recommend another expert. I'm appreciative of all the help he's provided over the years.

Schoneck Shoaf

COO & Co-founder, 1 Second Everyday

As a TinySeed mentor, John has provided great insight into many product and business questions I've had. We also had several conversations about hiring and managing engineers, and his experienced perspective as an engineering leader was incredibly valuable.

Matt Zunert

Founder, DebugBear

John is a seriously impressive individual. As an app developer, he has produced beautiful, functional and popular apps. As a person, he is one of life's stars. Over the past few years he has 'sponsored' attendance at Business of Software for recent engineering graduates. Extremely generous with his time and energy.
