Slalom Inc, Managing Director
Speaker Bio
John is the creator of Slalom Element Laboratories and a Managing Director in Slalom’s global strategy group. A futurist at heart, he helps organizations imagine and apply emerging technologies—especially robotics, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, digital humans as well as the advanced connectivity—to tackle complex human challenges and unlock new value. He’s known for turning bold ideas into pilots and scaled programs across smart cities, public safety, operations, and customer experience.
John launched Lab212 at One World Trade Center as Slalom’s East Coast innovation hub and is launching Lab213 in Los Angeles — a hands-on arena where leaders from business and the public sector explore what’s next, rapidly prototype solutions, and pressure-test them in real-world scenarios. The lab showcases autonomy, spatial computing, and digital-human interactions, giving executives a pragmatic path from concept to impact.
Committed to inspiring the next generation, John also launched a New York City and Los Angeles youth immersion program in partnership with the First Responders Children’s Foundation, LAPD, NYPD, local schools, and civic organizations. The initiative encourages students to “Dream Bigger,” connecting them with mentors, real-world technologies, and community challenges so they can design solutions that matter.
