“John was a trusted advisor and confidant. His understanding of strategic, operational and governance issues served both SpectraPoint and Bosch Telecom well, as did his ability to ‘hold down the fort’ in my absences. Beyond his proven financial expertise, John has consistently displayed both the tangible and intangible qualities of an enterprise leader. In my view he would make an outstanding CEO.”
