Bio
James C. Wilson
John has worked for me twice in my twenty years with the Interacid Group. Some years ago, as the North American subsidiary's controller, John assisted me on a turnaround effort that restored stake-holder confidence and allowed for a profitable sale of the business. A few years ago, I invited John to help work on growth projects in the US and Mexico. His initative increased the North American company's operating income by about 50%. John sets himself apart with a proacitve approach and intellligent research. He brings thoroughly developed opportunties to the table, has excellent presentation skills and strong common sense persuasive qualities. I have come to trust his judgement and would be happy to have him on my team.
