"Good leaders must first become good servants." - Ken Blanchard
Over the past three-plus decades in ever-expanding leadership roles, John has honed a passion for guiding leaders farther on their journeys than they imagined possible. Clients tell him he helps teams see what’s essential, say it plainly, and keep their promises; work at the heart of his practice as a Pinnacle Business Guide.
Leaders are asked to do hard things: set a clear direction, care for people, and deliver results—often all at once. When priorities compete and accountability lacks, even strong teams can feel stuck. They don’t need more noise; they need a trusted guide and a reliable route. John walks alongside leaders who want to climb higher but aren’t sure how to get there. His approach brings structure and discipline to purpose-driven people and builds playbooks that perform and deliver profits. He provides proven tools and systems, so teams reach their summits efficiently and effectively. The climb up the mountain will require focus, discipline, and determination as they navigate the journey together.
John’s own journey reflects an entrepreneurial growth mindset within corporate roles. Those years taught him that healthy growth follows clarity of purpose, simple playbooks, and steady performance rhythms. He has led and built highly effective teams across complex global and private-company environments, including Fortune-level enterprises, and he has coached dozens of leaders toward the future selves they desire, establishing personal, professional, and organizational trajectories crafted for long-term success.
Grounded in Pinnacle’s five core principles—People, Purpose, Playbooks, Performance, and Profits—John is passionate about enterprise-value acceleration, creating lifelong clients, navigating owner independence, and crafting strategies that deliver the outcomes leaders desire. For those ready to grow and scale, he would be honored to climb alongside them to reach their summit.
On a personal note, John wouldn’t be where he is without his family. He is grateful to be married to Gail, his rock, for 36 years. They are blessed with two beautiful children who inspire him to be the best version of himself. With them, he is confident he can climb any mountain.
