"John has been a great mentor to me over the years. He is very encouraging & is great at identifying a person’s strengths and taught me to embrace those while offering advice on how to improve my professional skills when I’ve asked for advice. He is a true leader, someone who takes the time out of their busy lives to sincerely help those around them even when there is nothing to gain."

Stephanie Yacono Vasquez Del Mercado - Bilingual Digital and Radio Marketing Strategist

 

 "John joined Destination Pet as our interim Chief Marketing Officer during a complex/fast-paced moment of extreme change in the business. John was not only an excellent advisor to the Executive Leadership Team but also a supportive value-add partner to the marketing team helping guide us through a turbulent time with strategic and data-driven counsel. John is a straight-shooter whom you can rely on to be there at any moment as an excellent sounding board. He is also someone who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves to get things done. I highly recommend John to any organization looking for someone to bridge difficult transitions, conduct unbiased assessments and to provide strategic guidance on where to focus to drive value."

Susannah Thompson - Former VP of Marketing, Destination Pet
