Summary
Nolan Jones is a seasoned founder and strategic advisor with 14 years of experience scaling a consumer SaaS platform from a small team to a nearly 70-person organization as co-founder and former CEO of Roll20. He blends product-first leadership, operational rigor, and values-driven culture-building while advising startups like Substrata and remaining an active co-owner of Roll20. Early career roles in public safety dispatch and campus communications sharpened his crisis decision-making, cross-functional coordination, and customer-facing instincts—skills he applies to business strategy and team design. Trained in theatre and film, Nolan is pivoting into filmmaking (writing, directing, producing), bringing a storyteller’s eye to product experience and team narratives. He enjoys mentoring founders and helping professionals map career paths, offering practical advice rooted in both grassroots sales and executive leadership.
