Top SchoolJohn Prendergast is a serial entrepreneur and product-focused CEO with 13+ years building fintech and wealth-management technology, best known for founding Blueleaf Wealth to help advisors automate client communication and engagement. He blends investment banking experience—having completed billions in transactions—with hands-on product leadership to scale a research-driven team that serves thousands of advisors and hundreds of thousands of clients. His background spans finance, engineering, restaurants and dance, reflecting an unusual curiosity that informs creative product and go-to-market decisions. John coaches founders and boards on product strategy and exit value, with advisory roles in startups later acquired by Betterment, MongoDB and Market Track. He hosts The Augmented Advisor, translating practitioner insight into product innovation, and holds an MBA from Kellogg and a BA in Economics and Computer Science from Boston College. Less obvious: his playfully relentless drive to “know everything” shows up as a practical habit of cross-disciplinary experimentation that powers both strategy and product execution.
