John Starkweather

I've known few people who can wear every 'hat,' mobilize teams at light speed, pitch BIG ideas to C-level executives, all while maintaining the confidence of a matrix of partners along the way. John has been a close advisor and partner, and has helped AT&T reimagine programs and deliver better results. His leadership has been appreciated and widely recognized for keeping us thinking differently, even when it would have been easier to follow the status quo.
