Bio
Mandy Arora, MBA
I had the privilege of working with John Simon during his tenure at CHEMTREC. John was a brilliant professional who brought in many years of experience to the Sales and Marketing team! With his wealth of knowledge and impressive background, John quickly jumped in and got to work. John always had a creative, positive outlook and brought tremendous ideas to the team. John was always extremely enthusiastic about his work and had a passion for business. He fully supported and cared for his team members, and at times, I was able to turn to join for advice and he always showed his sincerity and generosity. John is a top-notch businessperson who’d make a terrific addition to any company.

John is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the plaque and sign industry. His relationships both past and present along with always keeping his pulse on the signage industry makes him an extremely valuable asset. I would not hesitate in hiring John for any consultation. John is a get things done kind of guy. He pulls no punches and will be totally honest with you. He is the kind of guy that will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. His best interest is your success.

Few people have the opportunity to report to someone who is as supportive as John. He is business professional with passion and drive but also a great mentor and manager. I had the pleasure of reporting to John while working at Matthews International and he always had the ability to juggle multiple projects while still managing to be supportive and available to his team. John is a great leader and supervisor and would be a great asset to any organization.
