Juan Pablo Bedoya

Chief Product Officer

at Civic Technologies

For me, technology has always been about more than code or platforms — it’s about how it shapes people’s lives and creates a better future. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve worked across AI, blockchain, enterprise and consumer tech, building products that aim to empower, protect, and connect people in meaningful ways. As a seasoned leader, I have expertise in blockchain, experience across diverse industries, and a passion for consumer-facing products. I have 20+ years of experience building and scaling products to millions of users and in the web3 space since 2018. I’m the cofounder of Honeycomb Protocol, a game development platform on Solana that handles the heavy lifting of integrating on-chain features into games. I’ve held leadership roles at The Climate Corporation, LifeLock, textPlus, Fox Entertainment, Yahoo! and IBM.
