John Wolpert is a seasoned product and innovation leader with 11 years of executive experience building businesses, ecosystems, and developer communities across startups and large enterprises. As Chief Product Officer he has spun startups out of corporate innovation programs (including Flywheel from Best Buy), led multiple pivots to acquisition, and currently builds consumer-facing wealth-transfer tools at Valuable, Inc. He co-founded practical open-standards efforts like the Baseline Protocol and helped create five commercial ecosystems including Hyperledger Fabric and IBM Watson, demonstrating an unusual fluency at the intersection of cryptography, enterprise systems, and product-market fit. An experienced consortium builder, he has run cross-border, multi-party R&D and open-innovation initiatives spanning the US, Australia and the UK. Author of The Two But Rule (Wiley, 2024), he teaches "Momentum Thinking" to help teams break avoidance patterns and find creative solutions. Known on GitHub as a "Seeker of Awesomeness," he pairs hands-on prototyping (even building early products himself) with an ability to spot and defuse social rifts before they derail outcomes.
