John Haddock: Chief Business Officer, Harvey
Overview
Published 3rd December, 2025.
Episode #234 of The High Flyers Podcast features John Haddock — Chief Business Officer at Harvey, the fast-growing US$700M+ AI startup backed by Sequoia, OpenAI’s Startup Fund, Kleiner Perkins and Elad Gil.
In this conversation with host Vidit Agarwal, John reflects on his childhood in Phoenix, lessons from a decade at Stripe: working closely with the Collison brothers, leading across sales, product and global risk, and helping build foundational products like card issuing — and why he ultimately jumped to Harvey at a pivotal moment in AI.
John also unpacks how he builds credibility, develops teams, stays close to customers, and manages the speed, trust and complexity required to scale enterprise AI globally, including Harvey’s early growth in Australia and the UK.
It’s time to explore your curiosity — please enjoy.
