John Allen

Create. I’ve spent a decade at the interface layer of software: marketing automation at Profound, personal wealth at Titan, local commerce at Slice, plus over a dozen mobile apps across consumer categories. Now I’m building my own company to give businesses the growth machinery of giants.

Strive. Business is my medium. Technology is my leverage. Design is my language. Creating value for millions is my ambition.

Explore. I hike, ski, surf, run. I question existence through meditation and conversation. I widen my perspective through travel. And I connect people, because humanity makes life joyful.
