John Greenwood, MBA
Director Corporate Strategy @ AT&T
About
I help organizations turn messy, ambiguous business challenges into strategies teams can actually execute. I’m a strategy, operations, and AI transformation leader with 15 years of experience bridging enterprise strategy and operational reality. My work spans corporate strategy, GTM transformation, operating model design, strategic partnerships, business model innovation, and AI-enabled transformation. The through-line in my career is simple: strategy only works when people can execute it. I’ve built executive-level strategies and I’ve managed frontline operational teams, which has shaped how I approach transformation. The best strategies are not created in isolation. They are built by deeply understanding the customer, the market, the financial realities, and the people closest to the work. At AT&T, I partner with senior executives across Consumer, Business, Technology, Product, Marketing, Retail, Customer Care, Field Operations, and corporate functions to create clarity around complex growth and transformation challenges. Recent work includes enterprise GenAI strategy, Agentic AI customer experience transformation, build-buy-partner innovation frameworks, strategic growth playbooks, and organizational redesign. My approach is grounded in disciplined strategy methods and practical execution. Through AT&T, I was formally trained by BCG and Deloitte in their methodologies for strategic planning, war-gaming, scenario-planning, and value-capture, and I use these tools to help leaders align, make decisions, and move with confidence. I’m also a mentor, TEDx speaker, and people-focused leader. I care deeply about building organizations where talented people can do their best work, grow their capabilities, and understand how their work connects to the larger mission.
