John Guidon
CEO and Co-Founder
"As a businessperson, pilot, and private plane owner, I know firsthand how important communication is at 30,000 feet."
John Guidon's successful background in satellite, digital communications and internet technology—combined with his experience as a pilot—make him uniquely qualified to lead Row 44. John's distinguished technology career included consulting on airborne electronics for Marconi Space and Defense Systems, then as an engineer for Litton, where he was responsible for navigation elements still used in aircraft today. A natural entrepreneur, John founded the microelectronics consultancy GME, which he took to $20 million in annual sales and, after 10 years, recast as chip-maker ComCore Semiconductor, which he sold to National Semiconductor for $150 million.
John graduated with honors in electrical engineering from Imperial College in London
