Objective
Leverage my 20+ years of experience in product management and product marketing roles to drive growth and expansion.  

My sweet spot has been startups and fast-growing global companies up to about 1,500 people.  I also have experience at hyper-growth PE-backed companies with strategic business plans centered on inorganic M&A growth.  I thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments and am passionate about building and leading product teams to build, launch and scale products aligned with customer needs.  I love starting and building out (or refreshing) the product marketing function based upon my proven best-practices.


With my natural engergy, leadership, and team-focused personality, I am eager to help a company move up to the next level.

Let's get in touch

I am an optimist who loves building and mentoring teams

"You should consider yourself lucky if you have a boss whom you can respect and learn from him/her. I was fortunate that John was my manager during my tenure at InEight. He encouraged me to embrace my strength and gave me guidance to work on my weaknesses. I learned so much from his people-focused management style and goal-driven project management skills. What I learned from John has helped me to succeed in my current role. John is a real mentor. Anyone who gets to know John and work with John should consider yourself lucky!"

"John is an incredible human being. An exceptional leader. His understanding of people's needs is incredible, so much so that everyone working under him felt like it was family. He is not only friendly, patient, kind, and helpful, but also ALWAYS goes above and beyond, no matter what. You always feel welcome in his presence. His insane amount of knowledge has helped and taught me so incredibly much. I am forever grateful to have worked with John, and can only hope I do again."

"John was my manager at InEight, Inc. He was one of the best managers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is a personable, patient, positive and compassionate leader. He would take time to teach (instead of tell) us what to do. He has a brilliant mind, is innovative and has great foresight because he was always tapped into what was happening in our department, the company and the world around us. I always felt like we could accomplish anything with him as our leader."
