John Kraski — Chief Operating Officer

Fun fact: My LinkedIn isn't my resume. So don't come here looking to evaluate hiring me based on my LinkedIn. Or maybe you should look at my LinkedIn to realize I beautifully blend data and analytics with entertaining and educational storytelling. I always dreamed of being a television programmer. It never happened, so instead I live out my dream programming LinkedIn like my own TV channel. Over the past 5 years, I’ve logged 10,000+ hours on this platform. I’ve built a following of 100,000+ by programming my LinkedIn like my own TV channel. My content isn’t random. It’s strategic. Story-driven. Designed to drive real outcomes. And it’s worked, generating $10M+ in deals for the companies I've worked. Read that one again. Not me, but my companies. The power of companies leveraging LinkedIn is the future of LinkedIn. In 2021, I launched a global events company while working with a Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher startup, producing 40+ events in LA, NYC, Dubai, Paris, and London that drove millions of dollars in revenue. I understand how to leverage LinkedIn so companies can drive real results. A few highlights: -Closed a strategic partnership with CAA -Raised $7M in funding for a Mark Cuban venture-backed startup -Secured $4.13M in brand deals for one of the world’s top celebrities My background spans banking (JPMorganChase), global advisory (PwC, KPMG), and a decade as CFO/COO in the luxury design world, managing 50+ people and overseeing $40M+ in ARR and $1B+ in real estate projects for icons like President Obama, George Clooney, and Cindy Crawford. I’ve lived and worked in LA, NYC, and Dubai. I’ve built communities in tech, luxury, and now the creator economy. I’m obsessed with solving complex business problems through storytelling, partnerships, and scalable brand strategy. Always open to meeting new and interesting people that love life, love to win, and love to make the world a better place.
