About Yellow Radio

Technology strategy and growth advisory, grounded in the realities of building and scaling companies.

About Yellow Radio

Yellow Radio was founded by John Kinson, an accomplished fractional CTO, CEO, GTM advisor and board member with 30 years' experience in AI/ML, digital transformation, telecoms, life sciences, digital media and embedded systems development, with both software products and SaaS services companies, in the public and private sectors.

John and Yellow Radio's team of associates have deep expertise in the design and use of AI systems, from generative and agentic AI to sovereign, privacy-first deployments using open-weight models. We work across the full spectrum, from frontier models to locally hosted solutions, for enterprise, SMB/mid-market, and personal productivity applications. Over the last 3 years we have engaged with leadership and data science teams of global companies in the US, Europe and APAC regions, helping them employ AI to transform their business operations.

Global Presence

With a presence in London and San Francisco, we regularly share ideas with AI leaders at meetups and corporate events, and are well connected in the SF Bay Area (Silicon Valley) AI ecosystem.

We also provide services through our network of specialists to serve the needs of the world's most ambitious companies wishing to expand into new geographies, particularly transatlantic and into the APAC region.

Practitioner-led

We've done the work ourselves. Our advice comes from experience building and scaling technology businesses, not from textbooks.

Outcome-focused

We care about results, not deliverables. Strategy is only valuable if it translates into action and measurable impact.

Objective counsel

We'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Founders deserve advisors who are direct and transparent.

Long-term partnerships

The best advisory relationships are built over time. We invest in understanding your business deeply and growing with you.
