Founder & CEO

jOHN W. Gomez

As the architect behind the transformative vision of Opera Innovatica, I am determined to craft a new narrative for the global opera ecosystem. My professional career has been a symphony of learning, and the pursuit of a Doctorate in Art Literature and Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has positioned me at the intersection of art, education, and business. My academic repertoire, including a Master's degree in Pedagogy, Education, and production from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and an Associate of Arts from Miami Dade College-Kendall, laid the groundwork for my immersive approach to opera innovation. As an alumnus of the University of London, Harvard Business School, MIT, and Cornell University, and holding certifications in Blockchain Foundations and Lean Six Sigma, I've cultivated a strategic mindset. Recognized as an exponentialist, my commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Net-Zero Acceleration has become the driving force behind Opera Innovatica.
Fluent in Spanish and English, I bridge cultural gaps, fostering a human-centric, inclusive, and diverse approach to opera that knows no geographic boundaries. My extensive experience as a futurist has equipped me with the tools to reimagine and recalibrate the opera business ecosystem. Opera Innovatica is not just a project; it's a manifesto and culmination of my achievements as a disruptor, strategist, and innovator. My expertise in performance improvement and agile team building positions Opera Innovatica as a catalyst for change in the global opera landscape. With a keen focus on creating a deep-tech-driven, interconnected opera experience, I am determined to lead Opera Innovatica into a successful and sustainable future—where art and innovation harmonize. Opera Innovatica has set the stage for a global futuristic audience encompassing investors, thought leaders, business and tech influencers, and artists to contribute to the crescendo of a new era in opera. As an International Partner of the World Business Angel Investment Forum, I am thrilled to be at the helm of this transformative operatic movement.
