Founder & CEO
After university, Jon’s career began with a young start-up on the MIT campus in Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts which set him off on an international quest to build the perfect product. He traversed the globe professionally visiting 35+ countries while skiing every powdery slope encountered until finally permanently landing in Engelberg, Switzerland. He has held international roles in technical support, development, project management, program management, and product management working both as employee and consultant across multiple industries including telecom, oil and gas, banking, pharma, manufacturing, vending, and transportation. Along the way, he noticed a major lack of technological innovation in the vending industry and with his team of vending and software specialists, started Invenda to disrupt and revolutionize.
