Jon Himoff

Chief Product Officer
Leading Product Design and Engineering organization with P&L ownership and customer focus.
Turning concepts into new tech-driven businesses and growing them rapidly, is what I enjoy working on the most. I went from blank sheets of paper to an idea, to team creation, to early stage funding, to a multi-million $ sale to a US public company. I have also worked with companies that have great assets, but have lacked a fresh, energetic approach which focuses on next generation offerings and reaches more prospective customers faster.
