What people say...

John brings a wealth of management experience and technology knowledge to his work. As CFO of Beal Bank, the IT department reported to me. I hired John to evaluate, analyze and set the strategic direction for his department. He did an outstanding job of building a department that managed the transaction data for a $7 billion bank spread across multiple states. During this time the bank grew substantially (including the acquisition of other banks and the opening of retail bank branches) and implemented many changes, John was instrumental to the success of these projects. He is a thoughtful, committed, and highly effective leader!

John has great balance and understands how to manage technology and business priorities to best serve customer needs. He has the ability to drive a strategic vision and also get into the details to motivate and problem solve when needed. I had the pleasure of working with John for well over a decade throughout many changes, transformations and during a tremendous growth period in our WSO business. I would highly recommend John as he is a unique leader within the technology world. John has excellent people, customer and partnership qualities which any firm would greatly benefit from, whether it be in early value creation stage or an existing complex organization.

I have had the privilege to work with John in a number of roles. He is a consummate leader especially in technology, as he has the ability to break down the most complex processes into easily relatable and understandable terms. John brings an unbreakable positive, 'get er done' attitude to every day, every project, every time. I can't recommend John strongly enough to any organization that is looking to take its team to the next level. He will change/challenge an organization and that organization will be better, there is no doubt.

John is a skilled and seasoned technologist and a technology leader. With hands on experience and a long history of building great products and solving challenging client issues, he would be an asset to many organizations. He is willing to dig in and own it when needed, while letting others lead and flourish to scale and develop over time. A very strong positive culture carrier, who treats people with respect and also engenders mutual respect from others. Whether his peers, those more senior or most importantly those who looked up to John for many years. The WSO franchise at IHS Markit benefited greatly from having John as a senior colleague for many years and his legacy will continue to be felt for many years to come. I am a better leader myself for having working with John during our years together at IHS Markit.
