Summary
Jonathon Blok is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 11 years of experience building product-led SaaS and AI-driven platforms across Europe. He co-founded Aura Vision, scaling an in-store analytics product from prototype to Y Combinator-backed customers like Decathlon and Asics, and now leads engineering at Further, a fund operating system for top venture firms. His hands-on background spans front-end engineering and modern stacks (React, TypeScript, GraphQL) and includes delivering data platforms and R&D projects for clients such as Shell and Atos. Jonathon blends product strategy with engineering execution—finding product-market fit, building teams, and shipping measurable business outcomes. Based in Barcelona, he brings a founder’s grit and operator’s discipline to scaling technical organizations. An early career focus on performance-sensitive front-end systems means he still champions fast, testable interfaces in complex distributed products.
