John C. Lipman serves as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Illumination Acquisition Corp. I (NYSE: ILLU), a newly organized blank check company (SPAC) headquartered in New York, New York. He has held these roles since November 2025, guiding the company through its initial public offering on February 27, 2026, which raised $230 million in IPO proceeds with BTIG serving as the left lead underwriter. As of the most recent available information, Illumination Acquisition Corp. I remains in a pre-deal status, meaning the SPAC has not yet announced or completed a business combination. The company operates with a small team of approximately three employees and carries a market capitalization of roughly $311 million, with shares trading in a 52-week range between $9.82 and $11.00.
Beyond his current position at Illumination Acquisition Corp. I, the publicly available sources reviewed do not provide additional details regarding John C. Lipman's prior career history, educational background, other board seats, or notable past deals and exits. The sources identify him solely in connection with his leadership of this SPAC, and no further biographical, professional, or academic information was found among the materials collected. Consequently, a comprehensive career profile cannot be fully constructed from the available data, and any additional details about his track record, previous roles, or credentials remain outside the scope of the information gathered.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001383194 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 33 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 20 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
