Jonny Shannon
CEO
Ripetime


Jonny Shannon was a founding member of Pushpay; one of the fastest growing tech companies to come out of New Zealand (currently listed as a billion dollar company on the stock exchange). After his time invested in tech, Jonny went on to become Australia’s most requested youth speaker for 5 consecutive years. In the midst of his youth talks he also became CEO of Gamify; a gamification marketing studio and world renowned brand. When Jonny became increasingly aware of the impending global food crisis, his passion to become a part of the solution drove him to go beyond just being a seed round investor in RipeTime (a company which measures and monitors the ripeness of fruit and vegetables across the cold chain lifecycle, in order to greatly reduce food wastage), and leave his previous role as CEO to one of the most recognized gamification companies in the world in order to come aboard and help lead the international expansion of RipeTime. Jonny now travels most weeks partnering with cool rooms around the world to help them ensure they are implementing the best practices across the entire cool chain for the health and benefit of the produce being handled.
