Jason Straughan is a veteran founder and CEO-turned-executive coach with 14+ years building and scaling tech businesses, including growing Codeup from two classrooms to 19 campuses and leading Grok Interactive to seven-figure revenue and high-profile clients. Now a Vistage Chair in San Antonio, he blends hands-on engineering roots and startup operational experience with peer advisory facilitation to help CEOs grow without sacrificing health or family. He has authored a technical textbook, spoken on TEDx, and led acquisitions and program launches—evidence of a rare mix of technical depth, strategic deal-making, and people-first leadership. Nominated for EY Entrepreneur of the Year and honored with local C-suite and tech awards, he’s the kind of coach who’s been in the trenches as a CEO, operator, and coder.
