In this episode of the Top Innovator Series, host Josef Martens sits down with John Paul Murphy, VP of IT at Backblaze, to unpack what real leadership looks like in today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world.
JP shares a refreshingly honest perspective on leadership growth—why there’s no one-size-fits-all playbook, and how adaptability, self-accountability, and fundamentals consistently outperform trendy frameworks. Drawing from his experience across startups, pre-IPO environments, and global organizations, he explains how leaders must evolve their style as companies scale, especially when speed, data, and complexity collide.
You’ll hear a powerful breakdown of when collaboration slows progress—and why decisive, prescriptive leadership can unlock momentum. JP also dives deep into pattern recognition, rapid prototyping, and how IT leaders uniquely operate at the intersection of finance, engineering, HR, and strategy. Looking ahead, he makes a compelling case for AI-native leadership—where technology isn’t an add-on, but a default operating layer that simplifies work rather than overcomplicating it.
Most importantly, JP challenges leaders to return to fundamentals: clear communication, trust, accountability, and simplicity. In an era obsessed with tools and trends, this conversation is a grounded reminder that great leadership still starts with people, process, and purpose.
