John Pineda

Fellow, Green Premium Pricing

John Pineda is a Fellow based in BCG’s San Francisco office and a Partner and Director, Pricing. John was named a BHI Fellow in 2022, and has focused his research on The Green Premium and Pricing for Green Transitions.

His research explores how organizations and leaders can unlock demand for green premiums and the key strategic pricing and market levers that business leaders can deploy to accelerate the transition.

John has worked for the last 10 years on pricing strategies to accelerate technology transitions; he has spoken on these topics as a speaker at the Strategic Account Manager’s annual conference and at the Professional Pricing Society. His work on pricing models and on the green premium has been published in the World Economic Forum’s weforum.org and on Sloan Management Review.

Outside of work, John enjoys running with his dog Pearl, exploring and cooking new foods, and coaching his son’s youth soccer team.
