What others say about me

"John has that rare combination of excellent analytical skills, writing and communications ability, and thorough knowledge of financial markets and institutions, including the impact of climate change on finance. He can tackle any of these subjects thoroughly and promptly. Plus he's a really nice guy. With highest recommendations."
— Bob Litan, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution
“I’ve known John since 2009 — initially as a client, eventually as a friend. John possesses the unique talent for making sense out of intersections, notably between new technologies, finance and the environment. He confidently navigates novel situations, ambiguity and confusion, and can quickly develop actionable strategies that transform apparent quandaries into opportunities. John brings intellectual horsepower, enthusiasm and creativity to his work. He is the person I want on my team when I face critical decisions and action is necessary."
— Larry Gordon, Principal, The FactPoint Group
"John saw the financial world as an intricate web of financial relationships during the days when graph-based analysis was primarily being applied to social networks only. Together we developed one of the earliest AI based financial analysis tools. It is pleasant to work with him melding finance and computer science. He is a very patient listener, always does his homework methodically and is able to teach and share his findings. His personal interests and his acute power of observations beyond finance and computers certainly makes all our conversations very lively."
— PK Nag, Research Scientist, Carnegie Mellon University
"I have worked with John for many years in both the development of Lytix and his consulting firm. John is a leader, a critical thinker and a strong problem solver. He is well known for his ability to identify emerging issues in an organization or a market before they become critical problems, providing a strategy and tactical plans to correct them. John also has the ability to dig down deep into technical issues, sorting out adjacent symptoms to get to the heart of the matter, quickly."
— Sally Cabbell, Talent Management Advisor
"John worked with me and my colleagues in creating and prototyping a digital solution for our industrial clients. He worked closely with our engineering, IT, and sales and marketing teams under very demanding deadlines. John delivered as promised, and his prototype fit very well into both our business and technology strategies. I would happily recommend John as a consultant, partner or adviser."
