Working with John has been pure pleasure – I have learnt all that I know about sales from him and he has been kind and patient with me during times when I could not live up to his expectations.
Being one of the greatest motivators I have met, he is the “go to person” when conflicts arise. He looks out for his team but is not one to draw attention to himself deliberately – his work does that for him.
He has built a reputation as someone who has a broad vision and this vision is what will take a company places. I recommend John highly as I know that he will never let anyone down.
Working with John for several years, he repeatedly illustrated his capability as an excellent guide and mentor. His vast experience and endless knowledge quest for business accumen, provide excellent resources for anyone who works with him. He is motivating, challenging and sincere - and made me a better leader. He also says he can cook, of which no evidence exists.
John's arrival was a positive turning-point for the organization and my career. John brought exceptional professionalism and an essential depth of experience in the IT staffing industry.
More importantly, he is a student of business and leadership, constantly looking for improvement in himself and passing on that knowledge to others. John has been an invaluable mentor.
