Jon Schniepp is a Pennsylvania native turned North Carolina family man who loves “challenging the status quo” and using technology to create products that enrich people’s lives. An engineer with a marketer’s vision – Jon switches between right and left brain thinking to combine business, technology, and design in order to discover products that are forward thinking, feasible, and usable. As part of Republic’s founding executive team, Jon is responsible for driving product strategy and direction, and taking this vision through to our marketing efforts. It’s hard to find an area of the company without Jon’s fingerprints. He’s been deeply involved with Republic’s Data Refund Plans and the launch of their Anywhere suite of apps.
Lately his focus has been on the development a Relay, a brand new category re-defining product intended to help American families with young children who are grappling with screen time. Relay is just the sort of product that Jon enjoys digging into – using technology to solve complex problems with refined, simple designs. Early in his career, Jon did technology consulting in the public sector, with a focus on user experience design and developing deep data analysis tools for military clients. Prior to his time with Republic, he was a management consultant at Edge Consulting in Washington DC and Denver CO, during which time the startup grew to $30M in revenue and was acquired by IBM. He and his wife are the proud parents of two young sons and live in Raleigh, North Carolina. He earned a BS in systems engineering from the University of Virginia
