Bio
James Abel Gutierrez
John was an incredible Mentor / Leader. With his Leadership, year after year we grew our division's volume double digits. Truly enjoyed the time I reported to John at Keebler.
Alan Ecker
John is one of those rare managers who naturally served as an inspiring mentor to the entire staff. I worked for John for 8 years as National Sales Manger - North America @ Paramount Farms. With a strong backround in Sales & MarketingJohn has strong interpersonal skills and a unique capacity for getting his Direct Reports and Food Brokers (manufacturers representitives) to effectively execute a sales plan. One example of this is John building from scratch a significant International business as the North American market began to mature. Understanding the close relationships between maunufacturing,supply-chain, finance and sales provided the foundation of John's decision-making process. I highly recommend John for a position of CEO, COO or Preseident of a food based compnay
