Bio
David Anderson
John is an experienced and highly capable manager with a strong track record of complete dedication to the task in hand and of delivering results. He worked directly for me between 2007 and 2010 but I have known and admired him as a colleague for over 10 years. John approached his work on the DTR team with characteristic energy, commitment and professionalism, earning the respect of colleagues and customers alike. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any senior role in general management or project management.
Mike Goodfellow
I worked very closely with John through his entire time at QinetiQ DERA. He willingly took on a long series of high profile, high risk roles and delivered consistently high performance. He is an unselfish person, often putting the interests of his company and team before his own. He works hard at managing his relationships and is liked and respected by all those around him. He is highly diplomatic and can handle stressful situations, including hostile press/media, very effectively. His is of high intellect and can handle business issues of the highest complexity. John has thoroughly demostrated his mettle as a senior line manager, a manager of very major competitive bids and a highly discreet manager of sensitive corporate projects. I can unhesitatingly recommend him.
