Bio
Braxton Wilhelmsen
John is intelligent and ambitious. While sometimes his incredible level of detail can be overwhelming for someone like me, his advice, vision and decisions are always based on extensive research and backed by data, which was a quality sorely lacking in other areas of the company. You can trust what John says, and know that there has been a lot of thought put in to it. I think the scope of John's vision and his capabilities are larger than his current role at Lifetime, and I hope to see him eventually in a role where his full ability is honored.
