John Gordon has joined Mediazoo in a newly created position of Chief Product Officer.
He joins the Glasgow and London-based tech firm as it “doubles down on its ambition to lead the market in AI-powered learning and communications.”
Gordon started out working in the RAF across air traffic control and software systems, before joining Capgemini in Scotland and later Atos and QA in Manchester.
More recently he’s been working as a consultant alongside Mediazoo.
“We spent two years transforming how our own teams work with AI before we offered this to anyone else. We built the skills, deployed them across our workforce, and measured every result,” explained Giles Smith, CEO of Mediazoo Group.
“John brings the product rigour and the technical depth to take that further. His appointment is central to where Mediazoo is going.”
As well as leading on the development of tools, platforms and workflows, he’ll play a “pivotal role” in Finer Vision, its newly launched AI business.
“The AI skills gap is not about tools. Most enterprises already have access to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The gap is in knowing how to deploy them effectively across the full programme lifecycle,” he explained.
“With the right skills, teams can achieve in hours what currently takes weeks. This is about giving L&D professionals the capability to operate as genuine strategic partners to their organisations.”
