That early spark ignited a lifelong passion that ultimately led him to co-found SPREEAI, where he currently serves as CEO. At SPREEAI, John is pioneering a new era in retail with groundbreaking, photorealistic virtual try-on technology that allows users to become the model. The company's AI-powered sizing algorithm achieves 99% accuracy, dramatically reducing returns, increasing conversion rates, and elevating customer satisfaction for both consumers and retailers.

Under his leadership, SPREEAI's solutions integrate seamlessly across digital and physical retail environments—redefining how shoppers and brands interact in the modern era.

Prior to founding SPREEAI, John led global teams and forged high-impact partnerships at top-tier tech companies including Meta and Snap Inc. His work across augmented reality, gaming, shopping, and entertainment consistently delivered measurable growth in both revenue and user engagement. A lifelong entrepreneur, he has founded and successfully exited two tech startups, sharpening his strategic foresight, creative resilience, and instinct for disruption. John is also a part-owner of Andes Mountain Water, a globally recognized brand known for its exceptional purity and sustainability, further extending his influence across consumer markets.

As a first-generation Nigerian American, John's heritage fuels his drive, tenacity, and relentless pursuit of innovation. He believes deeply in using technology to enhance real-world experiences—making life smarter, more efficient, and more connected.
