-- John Pohl, Founder & CEO of 14th Floor Solutions, LLC, was honored with the “Business Leadership Excellence Award” at the CXO 2.0 Conference. The global leadership event was held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, convening founders, executives, and industry leaders shaping the future of business and technology.
In a world where up to 95 percent of new products - including many cutting-edge ones - fail, John Pohl’s passion is to ensure that truly exceptional products developed by innovative companies are supported by the right messaging to generate the outstanding results they deserve. John has leveraged his unique blend of strategic, creative, and leadership skills to deliver market leadership in a wide range of roles: as a Director/VP/SVP of Marketing at such market-leading B2C and B2B corporations as Dial, Kellogg’s, Cobra, the Gallo Winery, and Hu-Friedy Mfg.; as the Founder/CEO (Chief Elevator Operator) of strategic marketing agency 14th Floor Solutions; and as a Venture Capitalist.
As a Consultant to over 50 clients ranging from startups to multi-billion dollar international companies, and as a Professional Speaker sharing his engaging insights, John has continually stressed the power of Provocative Messaging to cleverly and tactfully provoke target audiences to notice, consider and ultimately purchase truly game-changing products.
After receiving the award, John shared, “I would like to thank the CXO 2.0 Conference for this honor, and my brilliant and passionate clients for allowing me to help them tell the uniquely motivating stories of their truly innovative products. I look forward to continuing to work with great innovators to help them meet the ever-evolving needs of their target audiences and realize the market success and financial rewards they so dearly deserve.”
This recognition highlights John’s continued contributions to marketing leadership and his ability to influence business outcomes through strategic thinking and creative execution. His work demonstrates a consistent focus on delivering value, fostering innovation, and supporting long-term success.
