Bio
Phil Calder
John and I collaborated on projects for several years, myself as a tech lead and John as a product manager. John has the ability to understand and convey complex domain specific requirements to enable development teams to deliver fit for purpose software for a range of end users. He is particularly skilled in working with organisations to understand their drivers and requirements, and follows through to ensure these needs are addressed. John cares about the people he works with, is very team focused, and has been a real pleasure to work with.
Grant Reid
John is a great businessman, he listens to what customers say, zeros in on their pain and effectively communicates what needs to be done. He is great at noticing aspects of a product that will really appeal to his customers and market. John built a great collaborative partnership with the engineering team; he made sure we stayed focused on the really valuable things, but also gave us the space and time to get creative and go the extra mile when it counted. Going on trips with John to visit and interview customers remains a highlight in my career.
