Jim Gurule
Founder
KitchenPlan


Jim Gurule is an innovator, industry insider and technologist who is currently researching and developing an industry platform using Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence to improve the kitchen renovation experience for homeowners and trade professionals. His innovation and insight come from his hands-on experience early in his career as a cabinet maker, then licensed contractor, kitchen designer in the San Francisco Bay Area and later as an owner of a manufacturer’s representative agency where he gained experience in all facets of the business – sales and marketing; the development of product brands, patents and B2B marketing strategies;, the design of professional development programs; and finally consulting for kitchen dealership owners. Called by analysts in the tech sector a “triple threat,” Jim has the technical knowledge, executive sales acumen, and domain expertise in the kitchen renovation space. Today Jim provides business owner consultation, due diligence, industry insight as a council member of GLG. In addition, Jim is often asked to speak about his ideas and perspective as he did earlier this year at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show during Design and Construction Week at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the AEC 6.1 Hackathon in Silicon Valley.
