About
I’m a 2-time exited founder and seasoned executive with deep experience in SaaS, Angel & Seed Funding, operations, continuous improvement, leadership, and management. I specialize in coaching early-stage companies, helping them establish repeatable habits for scale, and I actively invest in startups with high-growth potential. Most importantly, I don’t take on mentees or companies I can’t help—and I won’t BS you.
Previously, I was General Manager for Enterprise and part of the C-Team at Sign In Solutions, the company that acquired my most recent startup, ThreatSwitch. While I left my full-time role there in March 2024, I continue to serve as an advisor.
I’m also a volunteer Coach in Entrepreneurs' Organization’s (EO) Accelerator program, helping emerging companies break the $1M revenue barrier. As a Strategy Summit facilitator for EO, I work with leaders across the globe to strengthen their entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Before ThreatSwitch, I co-founded, grew, and sold Big Sky Associates, a consulting firm that helped companies and national security organizations deploy technology-supported continuous improvement.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I was looking for a mentor with a rich background and some steps ahead of me who could share the lessons learned and contribute to my leadership challenges, and I found John a great match. He is attentive and full of tools and insights to share in every theme I have to deal with. The way he began the mentorship sessions was a great way to kick-off and talk about my challenges.

John is an excellent mentor and an invaluable wealth of experience. As a twice-exited founder, he can assist companies with the unknown-unknowns, and help navigate the challenges early stage companies face. He can advise on a broad range of topics since he has had to face them in the companies he built and led. We have really benefited from his timely and well-thought through advice and can highly recommend him.
