Testimonials
“John’s international business experience, pioneering approach, and his gift for connecting with people at all levels hold him in good stead when aligning top teams and businesses that are in “fast growth” or “change mode”. John is an extraordinary leader who engenders loyalty with anyone that works with him. A talented public speaker with the ability to motivate and inspire his audience, he was committed to raising the bar of all his business partners. John is the epitome of an HR professional and business leader - it was a privilege to work with him at GHRS.”
Tracie Greenhalgh, European Director , HRDM Ltd., UK
“I have known John for 13 years. We worked together at PepsiCo in Asia. John has a strategic mind, outside the box problem-solving capability and a collaborative and positive style. I have now had the pleasure of working with John and GHRS for the last year and he has been a tremendous partner. He has a great vision for our business, helps us set aggressive but achievable goals, and has guided us in all aspects of the business. He is a great business partner.”
Stephen Krempl, President , Krempl Communications International
“Over my 25 year career, I have worked with many HR professionals. I have to say John is the best HR leader I have had the pleasure to work with. He is smart, learns the business quickly, and provides a great perspective for whatever issues we discussed. He builds trust with his client groups. I felt comfortable discussing numerous strategic business issues with John that didn't have HR implications, just because John provided sound business logic. Having said that, John has a passion for people. He likes to coach and develop executives. He really improved the way we conducted our succession planning sessions, introducing calibration meetings that overtime really broke down business silos. John solves problems and develops solutions that help improve the profitability of the business. John is an outstanding HR leader and business partner.”
Gregg Stefanick, SVP & Managing Director, Asia Operations, Mattel Inc.
“John is a visionary Human Resources executive who has an outstanding ability to execute strategies and tactics. I've seen him skillfully negotiate many very tricky and delicate situations, and have actually used one of those examples on his ability to build trust among resistant groups in our book, Seeing Yourself As Others Do - Authentic Executive Presence At Any Stage Of Your Career.”
