Jake Johnson '17 Betting on a Future Workforce Powered by AI


Nostalgia can only tide over the heart for so long.

San Francisco entrepreneur Jake Johnson ’17 said Tuesday that he felt all the warm associations of home as he reacquainted with spaces such as St. Joseph’s Chapel and Wetmore Hall for the first time in six years.

Jake impacted the Christ School community in a myriad of ways, going on to continued success at Dartmouth College. He was back on campus November 11 as a Lunch & Learn guest speaker, telling Greenies about Bolto, a company he co-founded, that builds AI-enabled payroll software.

Jake said he would return to Arden in the future at every opportunity, and we’re completely amenable to that!
