Why you should listen

John Mullins, Ph.D., is a veteran of three entrepreneurial ventures and a professor of management practice at London Business School. He's published four books, each of which has become either the go-to source on its stage of the entrepreneurial journey or the guidebook for understanding what makes entrepreneurs tick: assessing opportunities (The New Business Road Test); figuring out a business model that will actually work (Getting to Plan B, with the esteemed venture capital investor Randy Komisar); finding a way to finance and grow your venture without selling your soul (The Customer-Funded Business); and, most recently, a deep dive into the counter-conventional mindsets of entrepreneurs (Break the Rules!).

He's designed and delivered executive education on five continents for a variety of organizations both large and small, including the Young Presidents’ Organization, Endeavor, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, Kenya Airways, 3M, the European and African Venture Capital Associations and the International Finance Corporation, among many others. He's served on the boards of fast-growing entrepreneurial companies in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.
