John Malana

Polymath and Growth Hacker who seeks to inspire & be inspired, to learn & to teach, to engage, disrupt & collaborate in the pursuit of excellence and purposeful innovation, fulfilling the promise of living an empathic life and coexistence.

I'm an efficacy-driven, solutions-oriented, product evangelist, and social technologist. I love to create, collaborate and iterate in developing good ideas and making them into GREAT IDEAS!

A user experience technical engineer. I love discussing the “what if?” and “here’s how… ” topics and contributing to be part of a solution. I LOVE solutions! I am fueled by great ideas, collaborative synergy and purposeful innovation.

I love to cook, listen to and discover great music, socialize; simply share thought, interaction and the amazing human experience. I enjoy traveling and adventures; thrive in environments that promote creativity to start any thought and actionable engagements.

I make a killer Paella Valenciana, Chicken & Short Ribs Adobo, and Buta No Kakuni (Japanese Braised Pork Belly) with Uni Fried Rice. We can enjoy these dishes; adequately paired with a glass of Beringer PR Cabernet, Barolo Monfortino or some Junmai Daiginjo Tenko Sake listening to Ahmad Jamal, Bob Marley or Workshy. 'Continue the conversation over a cup of Blue Bottle Hayes Valley Espresso, Ritual Los Gigantes or Philz Ether, crafted and poured perfectly. ;)

I AM the Social Dragon.

This is just a short summary of what I’m all about. Would you like to learn more? Engage me.
