CEO

Josh's journey in sales started with selling middleware technology to enterprise companies. He then shifted to a commission only, door-to-door salesman, living in his girlfriend's (now wife’s) parent's basement, selling the first iteration of Bongo's video assessment technology as the start of his career.

Fast forward to more than a decade later and his career journey has landed him as CEO of a venture-backed start-up whose mission and vision he cares so deeply about.

As the CEO of Bongo, he has the privilege of impacting the way people are evaluated in the workplace, the classroom, and beyond. Did you ever feel punished in school for not being a good test taker? Even though you knew the content? Turns out that being a bad test taker doesn’t just stop when you graduate from school… as people train for new jobs and build new workplace skills, people are always going to be expected to learn. He's confident that being able to provide a technology that gives people the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge through experiential exercise will change the world of learning and development.

Who he is, otherwise:

Father to 2 amazing little boys, loving husband, investor, chicken owner, world traveler, snowboarder, video game enthusiast and an advocate that fights for what he believes in.
