How John is building a better world

“I seek to continuously bring new insights and delivery models to organizations to help them better manage risk.

I believe that having a high-performing culture of risk management and controls is similar to maintaining finely tuned brakes on a race car; they’re not there to slow you down, but rather to give you the confidence to go faster.”
