Abstract: Growing up, John Gomes had collected thousands of stamps from all over the world. A gray envelope with a Singapore stamp would change his life. As a computer engineer, John has four patents approved and is the inventor of an early platform for connecting phones to other services. Constantly reinventing himself, he has combined innovation with business strategy, and is a Partner at A. T. Kearney. His love for nature has seen him hike, climb mountains, travel countries, and capture the journey with his exquisite photography.
