Bio
Aldo DeLuca
Few executives inspire others to greater accomplishment and fulfillment of potential. Knowing John for 10 years and working with him side by side for 3 years, I witnessed this process many times. John's integrity and adherence to his values make him a consummate leader who people want to follow. John receives my highest recommendation as a top notch professional that leads companies to profitability, builds world-class management teams and identifies strategic acquisitions which lead to accretive top and bottom line growth.
Steve Mitcham
As employee number 2, I was brought on by and worked very closely with John. We successfully grow this company very quickly through the guidance of John. His even keel, professional manner was very much appreciated by is entire executive staff. His tenacious and never ending drive was a big factor in the growing of CoreCommerce. I have great respect for John and would always welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
