Bio
Mark Bundang PMP, BSc, MBA
John is a prime example of how altruism and business can coexist today. It was one of the first things I noticed when he interviewed me back in early 2013 for a position at Brother. It’s also one of the reasons why I continued through the interview process. I’m happy to know him and if you’re lucky, one day you’ll get to know him too.
Kelsey Crabbe
John is the definition of a champion in his field. I had the pleasure of working with John in preparing me for auditioning my business on season 11 of Dragons Den. Through that process not only was he accommodating, strategic, and knowledgeable, he brought perspective that allowed us to answer the challenging questions. John always hold my highest recommendation!
