I'm John. This is a small part of my story: - CEO & co-founder of Merlin: AI research agent for high-stakes meetings, starting with sales. Merlin auto-generates trust-building insights, fully verified, the moment a new meeting hits your calendar. No UI. No prompts. No learning curve. - Grew the brand of wefox from a little-known startup into a global insurtech powerhouse with a valuation of $4.5 billion in under 5 years. - founded a boutique PR consultancy (Foco) and a very early-stage AI startup (Tribalyst). - Ex-Director of Communications for UK local public services. - Ex-Public Affairs & PR for leading agencies in Australia and UK. - Graduated from Queensland University of Technology, Australia, with two degrees (Bachelor of Arts & Bachelor of Business - studied at the same time). - Born in Papua New Guinea, schooled in Australia, shaped in Europe.
