John Guidos

I currently serve as the Chief Operating Officer at Established, a consultancy renowned for its pioneering work in innovation, startup, and communication strategies within organizations. Additionally, I navigate the investment landscape in my role as a Managing Member of Established Ventures, where we craft a path that not only fosters company growth but also aligns perfectly with the investment group's objectives.

Before taking on my current role at Established, I honed my expertise as the Chief Operating Officer of The Anthos Group. In this position, I collaborated with a consortium of distinguished scientists, innovators, and investors dedicated to harnessing science-driven breakthroughs through pioneering agricultural technologies.

In the realm of AI, big data and machine learning, I co-founded TurboAppeal, Inc. in early 2015 and served as its Chief Operating Officer. TurboAppeal revolutionized homeowner resources by ensuring a fair property tax payment system through the deployment of data and machine learning. Under my leadership, the company was successfully acquired by the Paradigm Tax Group in May 2017.

With a legal background, I hold licenses to practice law in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. My legal education took place at DePaul University College of Law, where I earned my Juris Doctorate in 2005. My academic journey began at Purdue University, culminating in an undergraduate degree in 2002.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply passionate about community involvement and philanthropy. I have dedicated my legal expertise pro bono as an Attorney at the Willow Creek Legal Aid Clinic and have also served on the McHenry County Regional Board of School Trustees, always striving to enrich our community.
