Jack's Mission
About
Genuinely Curious.
Digital Strategist.
Practitioner-Builder.
"The best way to learn technology is to build with it, and explore what's possible"
A core beliefI'm Jack DeManche — a Boston-based digital strategist and builder with 15+ years spanning Fortune 500 brands, scrappy startups, and the frontiers of new technology. My work lives at the intersection of executive-level strategy and hands-on technical execution. I can write the deck and ship the prototype in the same weekend.
By day I lead digital strategy at a marketing agency. On the side, I build with AI: tools, agents, and systems that make work better. My path here ran through Web3, where I learned to think about coordination, ownership, and what happens when you give people the ability to build their own solutions. That builder's instinct is now fully focused on AI.
Values
Respect for the honest and authentic version of yourself — positive mental attitude included.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.
Never stop exploring, learning, improving, and enriching your mind.
Ship it, then talk about it. The prototype beats the deck.
Experience
