Meet the StratRocket Team
Depth of experience and a commitment to innovation define the StratRocket team—we are focused on clarity, alignment, and execution. We hate the strategy to execution gap.
John Knapp, Founder & Product Architect
Founder and product architect focused on closing the gap between strategy and execution. I’ve suffered enough from this gap so I’m doing something about it. Let me help you.
I specialize in identifying unmet market opportunities and building intuitive B2B platforms that deliver durable value. My background spans product strategy, system design, and engineering leadership—helping teams turn complex ideas into clear, execution-ready solutions.
I’m especially interested in workflow design, applied AI, and building systems that reduce ambiguity, align teams, and help organizations move faster with confidence.
