Robb-Davon MBA

John is one the most talented people I know! He possesses a unique ability to inspire and motivate those around him, generating maximum outputs from each of his team members. Another strength of John's is his ability to foster an atmosphere of creativity and inclusion when it comes to making decisions that will affect the team, which leads to "buy-in". He is a visionary who has revolutionized management styles and techniques, for example, John gives me an objective an objective or quota, but he gives me the freedom of determining how I arrive at that destination. Seems like a small thing, but I have worked for many managers who like to put the direct reports in a "box". John is a great leader and strategist and it is a pleasure to work with him!

John Hess is a sales professional who has a complete tool box when it comes to developing and closing on sales opportunities. John handles client interaction and support, manages a software development team, develops websites and online training tools and oh yeah - he also develops marketing and sales plans that generate and close business in the software industry. John has an engineering mind set, he understands that software impacts an organization at the enterprise level, and he manages clients expectations, with an honest and direct approach. John has a very high level of understanding of the health care industry. I highly recommend connecting with John to learn more. He would be a strong catch for a role in software sales / sales management for a start-up, or publicly traded company.
