John is a business technology consultant and an accredited coach with over 25 years of experience in technology, strategy, and governance. He’s worked in multiple market verticals across New Zealand, the USA, the UK, Europe, and Australia.
​
Previously director and majority owner of a US software company, the combination of John’s strong commercial acumen and insightful understanding of technology bodes well for the business consultancy and strategy work he undertakes for boards and executive teams. John sits and advises on several boards, and focuses now on the not-for-profit space— giving back to organizations that otherwise cannot access the support they need.
