Summary
Zach Johnson is a pragmatic technical leader and co-founder based in Palo Alto with 11 years of experience building connectivity products across consumer devices and startups. At Google he led strategy and engineering for a 100+ person Bluetooth community spanning phones, watches, TVs, cars and earbuds, drove high-stakes acquisitions, and shipped numerous WearOS cellular and connectivity launches. He combines deep systems and firmware-level expertise with people management—able to make hard long-term trade-offs in messy ecosystems where you control little of the stack. As a founder at LMNT he now applies that product-first, execution-oriented mindset to move fast while avoiding short-term shortcuts. An early contributor to Glass and WearOS connectivity improvements, he has a history of turning prototype work into carrier-certified, revenue-generating products under tight timelines.
