    syn·​co·​pat·​ed"a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm"

    In music, syncopation creates magic through the unexpected - it's about playing various rhythms together, deliberately moving away from the standard beat to create something distinctive and memorable. Just as musicians use syncopation to stand out, innovative businesses can find their rhythm by disrupting traditional patterns, identifying those moments where breaking from the expected creates new opportunities for growth and competitive advantage.

    Meet John Matson

    I help companies in travel, hospitality, and technology turn innovation into growth. Over the past decade, I've built global startup ecosystems, led AI and SaaS product development, and scaled venture-backed businesses.

    As the co-founder of Voyager HQ, I connected 2,000+ travel startups with industry leaders. I later developed AI products for a Google Sidewalk Labs spinoff and led a VC-backed wellness travel platform. Now, I consult on innovation strategies with companies like American Express GBT, focusing on corporate partnerships, AI and emerging technologies, and travel technology. I also serve as a Fractional CRO & COO for venture-backed startups, helping them scale revenue, optimize operations, and accelerate growth.

    Beyond my work with companies, I regularly speak at industry conferences and events, sharing insights on the future of travel, technology, and innovation.
