Bio
Chris Vella
I've had the pleasure of working closely with John for a period of over 4 years. He's shown incredible resilience, maturity and ambition as he's worked hard to progress through different levels in the organisation. He's a straight shooter, and is a natural collaborator. He's successfully lead and grown the project management discipline and enabled key business successes, driving growth through management of relationships and production outputs in a complex matrix environment. John is an absolute pleasure to work with and could not recommend him more highly.

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with John whilst he was an intern at GetSmarter and I was overseeing the implementation and running of a Paid-Search strategy in the Marketing Department. He is an extremely good-natured and easy guy to work with, more impressively he is an extremely keen listener and learner of new systems and platforms. Importantly, he was able to strike a balance between his duties to his internship as well as towards his studies (he was busy completing his Bcom whilst interning at GetSmarter). I wish John all the best in the future, hope to work with him again someday and will and gladly do recommend him as a strong and worthwhile member to have on any team.
