Susan Black – Co-Founder, The Black&Wright Group
“John has a thorough understanding of travel distribution, strategy eCommerce, and social media. He possesses a rare combination of deep applied knowledge and ongoing practical deployment. Over the 15 years I have worked on projects with John – from his Zeus Tours days, through his recent ascent to head up Digital Strategy at Rand McNally while continuing to oversee Tripology’s growth – he is an outstanding leader who always can be counted on to get the job done. He is one who “gets it” and is up to speed on the cutting-edge online tools and their applications. All of this, and an excellent conference speaker and moderator too! I recommend John to any company or person looking for some expert guidance and executive leadership in travel distribution and eCommerce and social media strategies.”

Carol Lucido – Academic Advisor, MBA program at Kellogg School of Management
“John was highly referred to me by a colleague at the University of Chicago. Based on her recommendation, we had John speak at a University of Chicago workshop class for over 125 undergraduate students interested in a career in business. John talked about his unconventional path in business and entrepreneurship in a clear and entertaining manner. He not only held the students’ attention (which is not an easy feat) but really motivated and inspired them. I had many students send me unsolicited emails thanking me for the workshop (not a common occurrence). I would highly recommend John for other speaker engagements and I know we will invite him to speak for us again.”

“John is an intelligent, creative, and strategic business professional. John has unique, extensive knowledge in a number of areas critical for 21st Century business success: General management, business strategy, traditional and digital/online marketing, eCommerce, social media, and operations. John’s experience in both established and entrepreneurial ventures gives him a valuable perspective… John has a dynamic personality. He is one of the finest non-professional public speakers I’ve ever seen; John delivers his message in an engaging, captivating manner. He has a well-honed, brilliant sense of humor, which he uses in a very effective manner. His writing is elegant in its focus. He ensures that a business arrangement is fair and beneficial to all involved.”

I have known John for over 15 years and consider him a mentor and a friend.”
