John Chen, 40
Founder, CEO, and "The Big Kid" (6 direct reports)
Geoteaming and Playtime Inc., Seattle, WA B.S., University of California

John Chen's Geoteaming is an experiential learning company built around GPS-powered teambuilding exercises that are competitive and collaborative...and popular, too.

Since its inception, Geoteaming events have reached more than 10,000 participants. In 2007 alone, Geoteaming ran 150-plus events worldwide, generating revenues in excess of $1 million. These events are essentially high-tech treasure hunts, according to Chen, during which teams compete with one another while collaborating with others as all strive to achieve hypothetical company goals.

Based in part on his experiences working at Microsoft, the Geoteaming idea came to Chen when he discovered there was tremendous value to be realized by organizations that develop internal cultures that inspire trust and substantive communication among teams.

"What sets us apart is our ability to strike the proper balance between vision and implementation," says Chen. "While some can dream and some can implement, we've worked hard to balance both to create results."
