Bio

Working with John has always been great. I've learned a lot from him over the years, he's got a gentle confidence that goes a long way towards building strong teams and improving products. He's got tons of knowledge and experience and knows how to use it to bring out the best in people.

John's an amazing, empathetic lead who was the absolute heart and soul of TunnelBear. He's great at seeing and articulating the bigger picture, but can also go toe-to-toe on execution with engineers, designers, and product folks alike. If you need someone to wrangle big problems, he's your guy. If you need someone to drive and motivate a team, he's your guy. And if you need someone to be a sounding board and check your assumptions, he's—absolutely—your guy. I don't know where John'll end up post-sabbatical, but whoever nabs him should consider themselves lucky.
