An Executive Coach with Firsthand Senior Leadership Experience
I understand the intensity of leading complex businesses because I’ve literally done it myself. I’m part of a small fraction of executive coaches with leadership experience at Fortune 50 companies.
I spent more than 20 years in executive roles, including several years as the CFO of Microsoft North America. This equips me to offer real-world perspective to the ever-increasing demands of my clients’ leadership challenges.
As an executive coach, I combine sharp insight and impactful methods with a mindset of compassion, curiosity, and courage.
Family, spirituality, and community are central to my way of living, and as a husband and father of four, I know what it means to juggle a leadership career with devotion to the people who matter most - all while finding joy in the journey.
Clients who work with me do more than learn world-class techniques for high-impact execution—they develop the executive presence all leaders yearn for. I work with senior leaders to accelerate their success by cultivating emotional intelligence, unconditional responsibility, and a growth mindset.
Having worked worldwide and lived in Latin America for 12 years, I hold a strong personal stake in diversity and inclusivity — and I work continually to expand my understanding of people, places, and cultures around the world.
“John's approach isn’t a quick fix or some dramatic, magic formula. It’s better than that. He worked with me on the needs that were unique to my situation, and I’ve seen positive effects both at work and at home.”
