John Imah
CEO and Founder in Los Angeles, California
John Imah's relationship with technology began early. At seven, he took apart his first computer piece by piece—and put it back together into a working system. What started as curiosity quickly became a deep interest in how technology can reshape industries and create entirely new ways for people to interact with the world.
Today, John is the Co-Founder and CEO of SPREEAI, an artificial intelligence company redefining how people discover, experience, and shop for fashion. Under his leadership, SPREEAI has grown from concept to a category-defining platform, partnering with global brands to build more intelligent, personalized commerce experiences across both digital and physical environments.
He operates at the intersection of AI, retail, and culture—focused on turning advances in artificial intelligence into practical, scalable applications that improve how brands connect with consumers and how modern commerce functions.
John has built strategic collaborations with institutions including MIT and Carnegie Mellon, while leading a global organization spanning product, engineering, partnerships, design, and operations.
His entrepreneurial path began early—by 16, he had already founded and sold two technology companies. Prior to SPREEAI, he held senior roles at Amazon, Twitch, Snap, and Meta, where he led global partnerships and growth initiatives across gaming, fashion, and the creator economy.
He was named to Observer's 100 AI Leaders list and has been featured in Inc., recognized for building at the frontier of artificial intelligence and redefining what's possible at the intersection of technology, fashion, and culture.
