I've known Jon for a number of years - we met when I was establishing a project leadership team at Hydro Systems, and have been in touch over the years subsequent to that. Jon has always been a very clear thinker, and very focussed on results. What I have always enjoyed with the time working with Jon is that he sees situations in a very clear way - and quickly. This has enabled him to subsequently become a great asset in leading organisations and advising organisations - wether this be directly responsible for 'output' or in coaching and advising others. A clear 'big picture' thinker - from strategy and direction to the often overlooked implementation of that strategy. I'd be delighted to work with Jon again.

There are few in business who can truly be considered as leaders, Jon is in that group. Jon not only understands the necessity to articulate the vision, but more importantly knows how to translate that vision into a roadmap, and subsequently the actions required across an organisation in order to achieve the vision. Jon leads his teams through complex issues by being able to rapidly define the problem with pinpoint accuracy, make the problem evident to all, provide a high degree of transparency in defining the solution, and then inspire his teams to achieve what they thought to be impossible. It is my honour to have worked with Jon on a number of occassions.
