John has been at the forefront in the application of Systems Modeling and Analytics to organizations to eliminate waste throughout operations, resulting in higher productivity, reduced cost, higher margins, and more sustainable revenues. In undertaking his business roles, he worked across a wide range of industries, business models, and corporate development and financial challenges. He determined through this experience that employees and people in general are the greatest determinant of business success, and in most cases, their full potential is untapped. His ability to think holistically to model and simplify business operations and financial management through a Systems Approach resulted from a broad learning perspective, business experiences, and mentoring in his most impactful roles:
- Earned a BA Political Science from Bucknell University and an MBA Finance from The University of Chicago, Booth School of Business
- Led quality management strategic initiatives across whole businesses, supply chains, and industries at an early age
- Achieved positions as VP Finance & Controller of a global semiconductor manufacturer and President & COO of a national healthcare provider before age 40
- Published 6 thought-leading articles about Systems Models, Waste Reduction, and Asset-Utilization in Stephen Covey’s “Executive Excellence”
- Co-authored a Wiley-published book that applied a Total Systems Approach to healthcare management with the thesis that risk-based prevention and proactive rehabilitation and disability management and outcome measurement provide the long-awaited solution
- Operated in diverse industries, including semiconductors, telecom, cable, healthcare, healthcare and education technologies, and management consulting
Underpinning John’s business success has been his ability to engage and draw out the talents and commitment of all those working for the organization. To him, all those within the organization need to be brought into the strategies, plans, and processes regardless of level or function.
Whether at a construction site in Eastern Poland in the Communist era, or in semiconductor wafer fabs and assembly lines in Asia, or in manufacturing operations in Belgium, or in cable warehouse and repair operations in the heartland of the U.S, or in data centers and R & D operations in Silicon Valley – John walked the operations and talked to those who made the business work, learning and applying their perspective and recommendations to improve multiple businesses.
It is this knowledge base and implementation experience being deployed in combination with Executive Function technologies that creates Reflective Performance, Inc’s opportunity to align executive, management, and employee interests for mutual benefit.
