John comes to our Associate group with thirty plus years of business experience. His combination of the Professional Engineer and Chartered Accountant designations gives him a unique perspective into the strategic operations of companies. The majority of his unique business career has been devoted to small and medium sized corporate turnarounds as the senior executive. His turnaround experience encompasses ship repair, bulk transportation, light and heavy metal manufacturing and engineered prime power generating systems for critical applications. This latter enterprise was turned around from $ 2.0 million in sales to a very profitable $ 28.0 million in revenue until he sold the Company as the controlling shareholder. Subsequent to selling this business, he has worked with the senior management of several companies on their strategic direction, business plans and acquisitions. John has interspersed his management experience with Deloitte & Touche (Eastern Canada) and Ernst & Young specializing in general and financial management consulting. John devotes his spare time to the Canadian Cancer Society as a volunteer and enjoys cottaging and scuba diving.
