Bio
Paul Skidmore
John is a dedicated and committed professional who I had the pleasure of working with for many years. In that time on numerous occasions I saw him going the extra mile to get the job done and excelling in front of customers and partners. John is able to translate complex technical products and capabilities into high business value solutions and most importantly communicate them with real passion. This is a rare and valuable skill and was, I believe, on numerous occasions a key factor in the success of our product portfolio. I have no hesitation in recommending John and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

John is a visionary and a driver, pure and simple. His relationship and business management skills are extraordinary. This unique blend of attributes are why he makes things happen where others meet roadblocks. John is very approachable and has an old fashioned 'can do' attitude about him that seems so difficult to find these days. I have enjoyed my time working with John immensely and would not hesitate to do so again in any capacity.
