Bio
Sarah Shields
I had the privilege of working under John while a part of Aligned Data Centers. Given the challenges in which he faced, he handled his role with ease and professionalism. Having the opportunity to observe leadership in plethora of different industries and roles, this was by far the most eye opening experience. John has the unique ability to simplify the complex. Never needing the last word, or to be the loudest in a room, he had an uncanny ability to demand attention by breaking down the complex into understandable results and proceeding to propose solutions that were effective while assuring the market and client’s voice was prioritized.He was a mentor for me on how to lead by example and not by intimidation. He brings his team, located in both virtual and in-house environments, together as a cohesive unit, a true testimony to his ability to manage a diversely talented workforce. I cherish the learning opportunity I gained under his influence and will forever attribute my knowledge and example of leadership to my time under his direction.

John is an outstanding executive and a true professional in the Data Center industry. It is rare to find that individual that can lead by example and be a true tactician at the same time. I have seen John cultivate a new market while keeping a team motivated to exceed goals. This is no small feat. If you are lucky enough to ever engage John in a business transaction know that you are dealing with a real professional. A man that will do what he says and says what he will do.
