Learn More: JohnTabis.com I love ideas, technology & people and the potential for all 3 to change the world for the better. I love to talk big ideas and my time at Bain & Company and Disney gave me a chance to think big and global. Launching The Bouqs Company gave me a chance to build something big. Today through my role as Chairman, as a Venture Capitalist and as an adjunct professor of Entrepreneurship at UCLA Anderson I teach and learn from others how to dream big and make it happen.
