John Paschkewitz

Vice President
BCG

I thrive at the interface of business opportunity and emerging technology. I discover, create, and build software and hardware products that change how customers view issues and empower them to do things thought impossible, and currently coach leaders on how to do that effectively. I combine exceptional technical breadth & depth, joy in learning from anyone I work with, and the ability to synthesize and connect disparate ideas with deeply analytical reasoning to define new products and services with strategic impact. I build great teams, rapidly scale and adapt, and focus on critical analytic metrics to build, scale, and optimize new products and product portfolios. I’ve worked in a wide range of roles and industries in both R&D and advanced product development. My experiences have taught me that. I can successfully create, scale, and optimize portfolios from $5M/yr to $500M/yr in scale- I think “in systems” using both models and data - I excel at turning imagination into working prototypes: complex systems that provide simple, intuitive, and compelling user experiences - I am unafraid of making hard choices and aligning priorities with needs I can build and lead world-class teams to make transformational change possible- I can inspire and influence people ranging from investors to the C-suite to engineering teams- I provide calm and decisive leadership in the presence of change and adversity- I value professionalism, accountability, and integrity I am motivated by growth and impact - I am continually learning and seeking new perspectives on problems - I am obsessed with, “are we asking – and answering - the right questions?” - I find meaning in work that positively changes the world around us: I've worked across sustainability, national security and health I'm always interested in unique opportunities to solve useful, hard, and important problems that build on my unique background.
