John Lawson III
Business Strategist
John Lawson doesn't teach AI from the outside looking in. He cut his teeth in analytics at Accenture, then spent 20+ years building and scaling his own businesses, and now he helps business leaders cut through the AI noise to find the moves that actually matter. Author of the Amazon bestseller "The AI Power Move Blueprint" and a keynote speaker for Fortune 500s including Verizon and IBM, he's the rare voice who's done the thing before he taught it.

John Lawson is a business strategist, CEO, and keynote speaker who's built the thing, not just taught it. As CEO of ColderICE Media since 2007, he's an eBay Platinum PowerSeller who generated millions in sales across all seven continents, including Antarctica, before most people knew you could sell online. That builder's scar tissue is what sets his work apart.
His background runs deeper than most who talk about strategy from a stage. John cut his teeth in analytics roles at Accenture before building his own e-commerce and content-driven businesses from the ground up. That mix of enterprise rigor and hands-on execution is rare, and it's why executive audiences trust him. As an Amazon bestselling author of "The AI Power Move Blueprint" and an IBM Futurist, he brings something most speakers can't: real implementation experience, not slides about theory. His philosophy is insight over information, profit over revenue, execution over endless planning. He can look at an organization and spot in minutes what takes others months, the 2-3 levers that actually matter.
John has trained SMB leaders at Verizon, contributed to IBM's futurist initiatives, and delivered keynotes to over 200,000 business leaders internationally. He's been recognized as one of America's Top 100 Small Business Influencers and named "Savviest in Social Media" by StartUp Nation. For organizations trying to turn AI from a buzzword into a bottom-line advantage, John is the guide who tells them what they need to hear, then shows them exactly what to do Monday morning.
