John leads Cogo Labs, one of the earliest studios at the time of its founding by Dave Blundin in 2006. With his entire career spent in and around startups, John has deep technical and product expertise that he uses both directly within Cogo Labs’ incubating companies and within the broader Studio ecosystem that Cogo supports. As someone with a passion for building, working with sharp entrepreneurs on early stage startups is more fun than work for John, who has also been known to take on sizable home renovation (or building!) projects. Having held customer-facing leadership positions at CoreStreet and Evernote, John brings a broad view of business operations to his role at Cogo Labs. He holds a B.A. in Computer Science from Dartmouth College.
