John Curtis, CSM, CSPO

I’m the President & CEO of CURTIS Digital, where my team and I act as the special-forces unit of software: small, elite, and laser-focused on high-impact digital solutions for enterprise clients in Energy, Healthcare, and Communications. After 20+ years in the trenches, I’ve learned that great tech only matters if it moves the revenue needle, so every line of code we ship is tied to a clear business outcome. My roots are deeply technical (yes, I still jump into code), but my true edge is translation: I speak fluent CTO and LINE OF BUSINESS. That means one minute I’m dissecting a microservice architecture, the next I’m mapping the ROI story that gets a board to green-light the budget. Clients call when they need a partner who can straddle strategy and execution… then actually deliver. Operator Hats I Wear (Because One Company Isn’t Enough) - Co-Founder & CTO, Sequence – At adoptsequence.com we’re tearing down language barriers with AI-driven video tools that let experts share knowledge in any tongue, any time. It’s Netflix-level UX meets real-time translation, and it scratches my itch for democratizing expertise. - Founder & CEO, Enterprise Game Stack – Turning corporate training into something people actually want to do by grafting game mechanics onto learning platforms. Because fun + mastery = results. - Chief Innovation Officer, Perdix – Helping this knowledge-management startup convert information overload into actionable insight. My role: connect dots, spot patterns, and push the product roadmap two steps ahead of the market. These operator gigs keep my perspective fresh and feed the constant experimentation that ultimately benefits CURTIS Digital clients. How I Lead I hire brilliant people, give them a crystal-clear mission, then bulldoze obstacles so they can fly. I hate technobabble; I’d rather have an honest, witty conversation that gets everyone aligned on the vision and value. My guiding principle: innovation is only innovation if it ships and sticks, otherwise it’s just expensive theater. Let’s Connect If you’re looking for a partner who can turn bold ideas into tangible results or you just want to riff on the next wave of tech, drop me a line. I’m always up for smart conversation and new challenges.
