Bio
Michael Kelly, CSM
I worked with John for more than half of my career at EquiServe and know him to be an expert in Equity Compensation plans. In his capacity as a sales executive I worked with John on numerous occasions both in the pre-sales period as well as the post sales period with his clients. As our business relationship grew I was asked to get involved very early on in the sales process providing sample project timelines, plan analysis, reporting/accounting analysis, as well as product/service analysis to determine if there were any special needs required of the burgeoning client relationship. John was always very supportive and treated me as part of the team. He is a consummate professional, who is extremely personable, and takes his job very seriously. I truly benefitted from working with John in that he often shared his extensive industry knowledge and his knowledge of Equity Compensation plans and application. Working alongside John was a learning experience I shall never forget.
