John Catsimatidis Jr I started my first company at 15 and started building/selling software at 16 (when the iPhone App Store came out). I've stayed hands-on building software ever since and can develop full-stack. Every company is a tech company in 2026, adapt or die. At Red Apple Group ($7B+ revenue) I co-led the turnaround of one of our businesses to dominant scale, founded our public and private investment arm, now its third-largest division, founded its eCommerce function, and now oversee all of our businesses. In all cases, I've taken a data/technology-first approach, leading the development of internal tooling as well as external platform integration. Today I'm the founder and CEO of PatternIQ, where we're building critical technical infrastructure for companies like those in Red Apple Group's portfolio to succeed and dominate in the AI age.
