Testimonials

❝

John’s understanding of technology and its implementation to underpin business direction makes him an invaluable executive contributor to business strategy and direction. His commercial and financial astuteness enables him to make strategic decisions concerning the technical direction of business operations and to future-proof solutions with an “all bases covered” approach. He is a top-notch organisational leader and motivator in large, geographically and culturally diverse teams. With an “open door” policy, he demonstrates an active willingness to listen to and objectively consider his colleagues’ input.

President, Consultancy

❞

❝

His ability to listen, guide the conversations with questions and give room for anyone to share ideas, concerns, experience etc. is a huge benefit, allowing him to form a much wider view of the world. His diverse background allows him to relive any of the previous roles in his CV – my team of engineers valued him most for his ability to be a helpful manager hearing them out and at the same time an active participant in low level technical discussions.

Senior Software Engineer

❞

❝

John was part of the team who introduced agile development to the company – both the business and the software team. He was a great person to have on board – whether we were doing in-depth technical planning or refining our business processes, John’s contributions were always insightful and enlightening, and working with him was both productive and enjoyable.

CTO

❞

❝

John is made of equal parts of business brains, tech chops, and execution smarts. He’s got a dash of requisite dry humor that makes even the most tricky work that much easier and more enjoyable. That all adds up to the right partner when product planning a complex implementation on a tight timeframe from different sides of “the pond.”
