I've know Jon and worked him over the 6 years and find him to be dedicated and determined in his work, with a clear focus on the end objectives. His extensive, global experience across sectors, markets and organisations positions him as a truly unique leader. His leadership style is inclusive and inspirational, not afraid to face change and the challenge it brings. As Director General of the IOD his impact is already showing, as he leads the turnaround and the organisation will reap the rewards for many, many years to come. I'm proud to call him a friend and would highly recommend him.

I have worked with Jon consistently for nearly 20 years. Jon's career growth has been extraordinary to observe as he has moved from marketing to general management to business leadership but his core values have never changed. He is an inspirational leader who blends fairness with Yorkshire grit and determination. Strategically led with an unrelenting focus on delivery, Jon is a force of nature able to influence at the highest level in large complex businesses and organisations whilst inspiring all those around him.

I have worked with Jon for over two years at Grant Thornton International. As such, I'm writing his recommendation from two perspectives. The first is Jon's role as manager. He's a firm but inspiring leader with exacting standards and high expectations of his team. However, he never places any demands on his reports that he would not make of himself. Jon also has the ability to provide team members with the space to manage their own projects but always with an open-door policy; he welcomes the opportunity to provide guidance when requested/needed. The second aspect is Jon's role as a senior Board-level executive. Jon is a great diplomat who genuinely seeks the best resolution for all interested parties. He is sensitive to cultural and corporate political issues and enthusiastically strives to overcome them for the common good. Finally, Jon has a strategic and visionary approach that enables him to thrive within businesses of simple or complicated structures to provide real, measurable benefits.
