John Gauch
Beginning my career as a startup attorney, today I work as a fractional Chief Operating Officer. I work with CEOs and founding teams who get just how hard it is to build a business--and can't help but do it anyway. I am a business designer and business manager who has led and contributed to dozens of new products and ventures in tech and across industries from pre-revenue to $100M+. I take a profoundly customer- and problem-centered point of view, helping to build enduring new companies such as Axiom and Spartan--each of which created new business categories and shaped their industries.
