from startups to a Fortune 100 at $60B+, including Pandora, Angie's List,

John Palmer is a product leader and builder based in Indianapolis. For over
twenty years he has devised human-centered product strategies for every size
of company, from startups to a Fortune 100 at $60B+ — leading product at
ODAIA, Testimonial Tree, High Alpha's Relay, automotiveMastermind, Pandora,
Angie's List and Simon Brand Ventures, and founding EQ Industries, Everymeal
and the nonprofit Indy Social Media.

He is equally at home starting a product management practice from nothing and
onboarding into a division of fifteen. His recent work centers on AI-native
and agentic products: voice agents, generative insight dashboards, and
production automation.

He also ships his own software — apps for people living with memory loss, for
audio walking tours, and for coaching a kid's soccer practice on-device.
