Jonathan Harris: CEO of Molekule

Jonathan Harris has had a bit of the Midas touch when it comes to hardware technology businesses. Major roles at GoPro, Roku, and Jawbone prior to Molekule all made it apparent that Jonathan knew the industry and knew what a winner looked like. Yet, he is quick to acknowledge that Molekule represents a lot of firsts for him. Jonathan spoke of his past companies, an iconic trio, as "nice to haves." What separates Molekule, in his mind, is its lofty mission: to provide clean air to everyone, everywhere. When you hear Jonathan talk about leadership at Molekule, it begins to make sense why he was tapped in the summer of 2021 as the growth CEO for this rapidly growing company. Among his most important lessons: always listening - to customers, to employees, and to the market. Despite being only a few quarters into the job, Jonathan speaks with a long-term focus. Tune in to hear what he means by "capping the pyramid" as one key to building enduring organizations and products. Other topics include how to hire (and fire), how to present problems to colleagues, and how to build accountability into an organization. Enjoy.
