John Faber
I started in the '90s by founding one of San Francisco's earliest ISPs and have spent the years since solving complex problems at the intersection of technology, strategy, and growth.
For a decade at Chapter Three, I led the company through significant transformation — driving partnerships and sales with major platforms, and delivering technical strategy for clients including Google Apigee, Apple, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the National Association of Realtors.
Today, as Partner Technical Enablement Manager at Acquia, I focus on the partner ecosystem — bridging the gap between Acquia's product platform and the agencies and integrators who build on it.
At the core, I specialize in making complexity manageable — helping partners and customers move faster, align smarter, and build platforms that last.
