About JB

Until recently, I was the founder & CEO of Mayday. We created a new kind of AI-assisted calendar that helps busy people take control of their schedules. Mayday was acquired by Apple in 2024, where I am now Sr. Engineering Manager overseeing Apple Calendar.

Before starting Mayday, I worked in a number of leadership positions in the tech industry. I was the VP of Design at Connected Lab, where I worked with clients like Bose, Canon, and Ford, and played a key role in the development of Facebook's Portal and Portal TV.

I also served as the Chief of Design at Precision Nutrition, the world's largest and most respected private nutrition coaching and education company. In this role, I led the design team and worked on products that helped people improve their health and fitness.

With my first startup, Wattage, we pioneered technology that democratized the creation of custom electronics through a combination of a user-friendly online platform and advanced digital manufacturing techniques like laser cutting and 3D printing. Wattage was acquired by Precision Nutrition in 2015.

Before that, I was a Partner at Teehan+Lax, a boutique digital experience agency where I spent 6 years helping design and build digital projects for clients such as Spotify, BlackBerry, LG, Bell and Google. With over 20 people on my team, I oversaw the largest and most diverse group of creative professionals at the company.

With over 27 years of experience, I combine a passion for design and technology with a strong sense of curiosity and optimism, continually striving to innovate and improve the way we interact with the world around us.
