John is a scientist, entrepreneurial investor and operator. His research studies have been cited by nearly 6,000 publications, and his work with stem cells was featured on the cover of Time Magazine. He was one of the first employees of iPierian, a drug discovery startup that was acquired for $725M; iPierian subsequently spun out True North Therapeutics, which was acquired for an additional $825M.
John helped launch Mavericks Capital, an investment bank for early-stage life science companies developing new products in biotech, biopharma, medical devices and digital health; he then led US operations for a revenue-generating company using DNA sequencing and machine learning to predict disease risk and develop mitigation strategies in agriculture. John later became responsible for pipeline and portfolio diligence at the investment platform Propel(x), and remains a member of the investment committee at the Newton Fund.
