John Christie founded ModnPods in 2015 with a mission to rethink how people live, work, and connect with a place. A former elite US Navy Special Operations Search and Rescue Operator, John led humanitarian and disaster relief efforts involving thousands of personnel across global missions. That experience instilled in him a deep understanding of leadership, strategy, and service under pressure.
After leaving the military in 2014, John moved to Australia to pursue his MBA and Master of Finance at Bond University. It was here, inspired by the housing affordability crisis and driven by purpose, that he laid the foundations for ModnPods — first imagined as container housing, and now a market-leading modular solution combining architectural design with sustainability and scale.
With a background in corporate management, logistics, property, and a lifelong passion for building and business, John brings a powerful blend of operational excellence and values-based leadership. His approach is shaped by the principles of honour, courage, and collective progress — values that continue to define ModnPods’ direction and ambition today.
