Senior Associate
John has always been interested in new ideas. Emerging companies provide platforms for bringing new ideas to the market. For him, finding ways for new ideas to succeed and then working to make that opportunity pay off is always fulfilling. Coming up with a new idea is generally a lot easier than achieving success with it. The issues of strategy, organization, technology and implementation pose challenges at every stage of a company’s evolution. Getting all of these pieces in place and working properly is not an easy task, but success requires that they are. This is where he believes we bring our resources and experience to bear with the greatest effectiveness.
Having access to outside perspectives from people who are there to add value can make a huge difference in a young business’ growth and eventual success. During the hard work of building a business it is very easy to become so enmeshed or emotionally invested in an idea that seeing the potential miscues, or not seeing alternatives can impede progress. At Rubicon our goal is our clients’ growth and success, and our commitment is to provide the best advice and assistance all along the way. Doing that means developing realistic plans and identifying not only the strategies for short term results, but those for the long term benefit of the business.
With over twenty years of experience as a business strategist, John has been a c-level executive at corporations ranging from start-ups to international entities. He has successfully turned around companies such as Intelligent Results, Onscreen Technologies, Oliver Wight Companies International, and others.
John earned his Ph.D. in Communications Technology & Computing from Columbia University, his M.A. in Interactive Information Systems/Statistics and B.A. in Cognitive Psychology from Florida State University.
