    Michael C.

    Director of IT at GeoVerra

    With the formation of GeoVerra, our team needed to separate core business services from two parent companies. Our goal was to separate as quickly and as efficiently as possible while maintaining day to day operations. John's leadership style immediately resonated with our team. The structure and frameworks he brought organized our work and accelerated our delivery. If you're looking to for someone to help deliver your goals, I would highly recommend you contact John.

      Nadia Mursky

      Senior Manager, Financial Performance and Risk at Workers Compensation Board, Alberta

      My goal was to have training delivered to my team in a way that was engaging and impactful. John and his team achieved this goal through very objective measurements: 1) Classes were well attended, with increasing interest to join by members outside of my team; 2) Training incorporated use cases with our own data, spurring a lot of idea generation; 3) My trailblazers are finding opportunities to use Power Query and Power BI as added tools to optimize our reporting. If you're looking for Power BI and Data Analytics training, I recommend John's company.

        Laurent Charron

        Controller at WCB Alberta

        John has been helping us transform our finance operations so that we come back stronger from the pandemic. He delivered tremendous value as we address a number of efficiency opportunities and gently bring staff along into the new business value creation model. If you or your management team have ever thought of getting an additional right-hand person to make things happen quickly and effectively, I would highly recommend you check out John.

          Self Employed

          John delivered an outstanding talk on Success Strategies for our Technology Projects at the Chartered Professional Accountants Technology Forum of British Columbia. It was extremely well organized and very engaging with ideal examples and references. He shared toolkits and case studies that helped our members reframe how we think about Technology so it creates maximum value. I recommend John to any company looking for growth and transformational results. Thank you John. Louis F. Fourie, CPA CGA, MBA, MA;, Chair, CPA Technology Forum of BC
