“I had the pleasure of working with John in a freelance role at the Hertz Foundation. He is an exceptional leader who supports staff in exploring ideas and taking risks while always making himself available to brainstorm through problems. John can see the big picture but also ensure that the little details aren't overlooked. In addition to being a great leader and thoughtful colleague, he is also a wonderful and fun person who you simply enjoy working with.”
