#234 John Haddock: From Phoenix’s desert trails to leading Harvey’s AI rise after a decade scaling Stripe’s hyper-growth
Episode #234 features John Haddock — Chief Business Officer at Harvey, the US$700M+ AI platform backed by Sequoia and OpenAI. Prior to Harvey, John spent a decade at Stripe, working closely with the Collison brothers and leading across sales, product and global risk — a rare cross-functional path that saw him help build card issuing and shape Stripe’s hyper-growth.
In this episode, John shares his personal story for the first time, and his lessons from Stripe to Harvey on leadership, scaling teams, enterprise AI, and expanding Harvey across Australia, the UK and beyond.
