Summary
John Griebling is a seasoned Principal Consultant and retired technology executive with over 35 years of experience designing and delivering large-scale telecommunications, IoT, and broadband network solutions across defense, commercial, and industrial markets. He has led global system engineering, product strategy, and technical sales for major firms including Itron, ABB/Tropos, Enron, and Level 3, and founded a mesh-broadband startup that deployed one of the first city-wide Wi‑Fi mesh trials. Known for blending hands-on engineering with strategic leadership, he excels at mentoring teams, closing complex deals, and guiding innovators from concept through market launch. Based in Denver, he now advises customers, startups, and investors on IIoT, terrestrial and non‑terrestrial broadband, and secure network architectures as an independent consultant. A less obvious strength: his career threads together early DoD aerospace systems work with later large-scale utility and smart‑city deployments, giving him rare depth across mission-critical and commercial networking domains.
