Leadership

Founder & CEO

Jonathan Franchell

Jonathan loves helping remarkable companies grow. It's a passion. He also loves building systems and practices that help the Ironpaper team grow, develop their passions, and make work purpose-driven.

A graduate of the Cooper Union, Jonathan likes to apply his alma mater's founding principles - to create a union of science and of art. "I founded Ironpaper in 2003 with these sort of unions in mind, whether between design and technology, marketing and sales, or between our clients and ourselves."

The Standards We Work By

Culture is not separate from the work. It shapes how decisions get made, how people collaborate, how clients experience the relationship, and how the team responds when the answer is not obvious. These principles set the standard for how Ironpaper operates every day.

Kindness keeps the work honest and constructive. Curiosity pushes people to ask better questions and keep building their expertise. Boldness creates space to challenge weak assumptions, name difficult truths, and pursue stronger ideas. A commitment to growth keeps the team focused on progress — for clients, for one another, and for the companies and industries the work can help move forward.

Kindness Comes First

We hire kind people and lead with empathy and respect. Strong relationships, inside the company and with clients, are built through trust, openness, and genuine care.

Never Stop Learning

Ironpaper is a learning culture. We are expected to be both students and teachers — questioning, improving, experimenting, and sharing what we learn with others.

Act With Boldness and Clarity

We challenge assumptions, think critically, and strive for better outcomes. We also communicate openly, early, and with enough context for people to make good decisions.

Pair Understanding With Action

Deep understanding matters, but it is incomplete without action. We work to understand buyers, markets, and business problems, then act with urgency and intention so that learning leads to progress.
