John Dunham's Linkedin Analytics

Dunham brings a rich context of entrepreneurship and leadership roles to his nonprofit directorships and coaching practice. As an entrepreneur he earned renown for coaching and growing untested but talented and enthusiastic teams into world-class functioning organizations. He brings that wealth of experience together with an Integral Coaching certification to support his clients to become far bigger, stronger versions of who they already are. An established trend-bucking serial entrepreneur, John Dunham founded Sauce Labs and Caw Networks. Both companies grew rapidly to be high-flyers within their respective markets and continue to be held in high regard. He joined Cloud9 IDE as COO and lead the sale of Cloud9 to Amazon Web Services. John’s penchant for turning exceptional ideas into multi-million dollar companies stems from his practice of building companies upon a firm foundation of immutable core values such as authenticity, transparency, persistence and integrity. When faced with the lean period of 2011, John’s trademark persistence and commitment to core values galvanized the spartan Sauce Labs team. The company flourished and became a recognized force in the fast-changing world of software development. At Sauce, Dunham’s resolute focus on values proved essential at recruiting and retaining its renown engineering team during one of the most challenging hiring periods in the history of tech. He was also responsible for forging a constructive partnership between Sauce Labs and the Selenium open source community. Before facilitating and negotiating the sale of Caw Networks, Dunham led Marketing, Sales, Finance, Business Development, and served as a board member. At Caw Networks, John raised $25M in venture, private and partner investment including Series B October 2001 at a 100% premium over Series A at a time when VC funds were not easily accessible. John uses the ever-changing, agile context of the startup to mentor, lead, and build companies that transcend the product-valued startup to a level that uses core values as its foundation to guide and build organizations that matter.
