Anica John Biography

Anica John is the CEO of DiggyPOD and founder of Everbrook Holdings, a holding company focused on long-term ownership of profitable businesses, including print-on-demand book manufacturer DiggyPOD. John has more than 10 years of experience in product management and strategy across early-stage startups, growth-stage companies, and global corporations. Prior to founding Everbrook Holdings, she led product teams at Amazon Music, Disney+, and Walmart Labs, co-founded a Y Combinator-backed startup, and managed an acquisition in the legal services sector.

John's approach to entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) was influenced by her experience navigating the demands of high-pressure roles in the technology industry. During the pandemic, while working in product management at Walmart Labs and raising a young child, she encountered the challenges of remote work and evolving workplace expectations, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence. These experiences prompted John to pursue a different model of career ownership, focusing on acquiring established, profitable businesses rather than building new ventures from the ground up.

While at Amazon, John began searching for her first business to acquire. With the support of a Small Business Administration acquisition loan, she purchased DiggyPOD, a book printing company. She later added Long Overdue Books, a book publisher with several notable titles, to her portfolio. Her goal is to expand these businesses into a global media organization that supports content creators.

John is recognized in the ETA community, especially among women and technology industry professionals considering the transition from corporate roles to business ownership. She has been featured in Fast Company and appeared on the M&A Launchpad Podcast, where she discussed topics such as leaving the corporate world, acquisition strategy, and the complexities of financing and closing business deals. John is committed to raising awareness of ETA, particularly among women and tech industry veterans seeking alternatives to traditional corporate career paths. Her background in product management, entrepreneurship, and acquisition strategy positions her as a knowledgeable voice on business ownership and the evolving landscape of work.
