“I had the pleasure of working with John for over a year at Legacy. He was hired as the VP of Engineering to rebuild and refocus our technology team. John has a wonderful calm and intellectual presence, choosing to participate only when absolutely necessary, or when he has a relevant or important point to provide. I find this trait to be especially endearing in a world where some may speak for the sake of speaking versus focusing on the quality of the engagement. In the same vein, John is one of the most thoughtful and prepared leaders I have worked with. He spends time outside of normal business hours educating himself, preparing documentation, and ensuring he has full information on a situation before presenting solutions to teams, whether C-level or his own that he leads. John has a special and refreshing leadership style from which I personally learned a lot. He (1) holds his team to high standards while also (2) sharing with them exactly what he expects and (3) showing them the path to get there. A lot of times leaders will only hold teams to a high standard without guidance or self-accountability. Not John. He is in the trenches with his team, stands guard to protect them, and can fly 30,000 feet above them to direct their efforts to the final goal. That goal will be gently discussed, explained, and reiterated rigorously to the team, leaving no stone unturned in what and why the team is doing what it is doing. John is also a hands-on executive who does not operate in a silo. While he values Team 1 (execs) and can lead his own troops in synchronous balance, he also finds time to offer help and contribute to the development of other teams outside of his direct purview. I have experienced on multiple occasions John offering support to the Operations, Sales, and CX teams. This is a testament to his desire to improve the company together versus operate and improve in a silo. John is a holistic leader, and one whom I would be honored to work with again.”
