John Kundtz
Weathering over 40 years of corporate and nonprofit transformation, John brings experienced leadership and a strategic mindset to the boardroom. A retired IBM executive with 38 years of experience in global technology sales, he now focuses his energy on mentoring nonprofit leaders, advising mission-driven organizations, and sharing insights on governance and strategy through writing and speaking.
As Board President of the Horses and Humans Research Foundation, John builds on a long-standing commitment to the equine-assisted services community. His previous board service includes Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center and Three Corner Round Pack Outfitters, both of which reflect his dedication to advancing global understanding of horse-human interactions and their impact on the health and well-being of both humans and horses.
A passionate advocate for exceptional nonprofit governance, John also contributes thought leadership through podcasts and writing that explore how design-driven strategic planning and strong board leadership can create meaningful alignment between mission, boards, and stakeholders.
In his spare time, John enjoys trekking in places as remote as Nepal, hiking local trails, visiting major league baseball stadiums, and discovering new craft breweries. Whether on the trail, in the stands, or over a well-crafted pint, he remains curious, reflective, and eager to connect ideas across communities and causes.
“I have experienced firsthand the truly amazing life-changing benefits that children and adults have realized through horse-human interactions, and as a research scientist I believe that continued rigorous research is needed to propagate these benefits globally.”
