I have worked with John refining business plans and raising capital. John is an entrepreneur who studies the market, identifies problems, builds solutions, and ultimately delivers far better services than were expected. His high-performing teams are empowered to consistently deliver an optimal customer experience. At Big Blue Swim School, John designed and built the systems, processes, and teams to make the customer experience easy, productive, and fun. Both students and their parents love the Big Blue experience. John’s energy, creativity, and leadership, delivering superior services, will quickly drive profitable expansion in any business.

I worked with John at optionsXpress as a Product Manager in 2007. From the very beginning John showed his passion and deep knowledge of the financial industry. John has exceptional organization skills and a unique ability to convert raw data into well represented meaningful reports. As a product manager he was able to generate full specification documents and use his interpersonal communication skills to gather the business requirements and present them in an effective form to software developers. John is able to use his trading background and interact with people at all levels. On multiple occasions John used his problem solving skill to create solutions to difficult projects. In particular John worked to create multiple futures products at optionsXpress which brought very complex concepts to the average retail investor. Some projects that are worth noting included the creation of a Spread Wizard and the early design of a smart trade product. John was also involved in the creative process, working with designers in generating well presented webpage layouts for the optionsXpress website. John is also a very competitive athlete. I believe this is relevant since his athletic abilities and self imposed discipline clearly show on his work ethic. No matter what task is assigned to him, he is able to educate himself and adapt to the situation. He tackles problems with the right attitude and challenges himself to get the job done quickly and effectively. John has done an excellent job at optionsXpress and I would highly recommend him for any position at any company. Alejandro Ozerkovsky Director of Product Management optionsXpress
