Background

About John Rood

I’ve spent my career building businesses and technologies that solve real problems and deliver real results. In 2014, at age 20, I launched a product on Amazon that quickly became the #1 seller in its category. To scale, I built Kibly, an email automation platform that grew to serve over clients and processed more than 3 billion emails. That experience wasn't just about growth—it was about creating systems that worked at scale, for thousands of businesses, every day. Today, as Director of Artificial Intelligence at Decision Resources, Inc, I focus on building AI systems that drive efficiency and actionable insights. I developed InSyte, a Gen AI-over-ERP platform that allows companies to talk to their data, delivering actionable insights in seconds versus minutes - resulting in 80% faster decision-making for our enterprise clients. For me, it's always been about impact. Whether it's scaling startups, designing software, or building AI solutions, I focus on delivering measurable results that move the needle. I'm particularly excited about the convergence of generative AI and enterprise systems, and its potential to democratize data-driven decision making across organizations.
