Mike "JB" John-Baptiste's Page

My mission in the workplace is to help people find success and happiness in their professional pursuits. I have been a business development executive, financial advisor, investor and market strategist for more than fifteen years. 

I have spent the last 16 years fueling technology companies where my emphasis has ranged from b2c and b2b digital media to financial technology.

I am heavily involved in the local community with a focus on youth development. I co-founded in 2000  a non-profit called TennisTalk  and am currently serving on the Board of Directors of Lighthouse Community Charter School in Oakland, California. I recently established Project DEE, a research and design initiative which has as its current and exclusive focus, the creation of San Francisco’s next great high school. The basic concept is to provide affordable and purposeful education to a large community of students drawn from local diverse communities in San Francisco as well as select countries worldwide. More specifically, the model contemplates building or transforming a large high school with a particular emphasis on excellence in Sports, Entertainment and Science.
