Turning promising opportunities

into new business.

hi, i’m john

I’ve spent more than 30 years starting, building and growing businesses.

Along the way, I’ve developed products, pursued new customers and markets, opened sales channels and built partnerships.

The part I’ve always enjoyed most is seeing possibilities in what a business already has—and figuring out how to turn them into new business.

what draws me in

I’m curious about businesses and the people behind them.

What do they do especially well? What do their customers need? Who else could buy what they sell? What could they create with the resources, relationships and capabilities they already have?

Sometimes the opportunity is obvious. Other times, you have to go looking for it.

I enjoy finding promising opportunities, focusing on the ones worth pursuing and helping move them toward actual business.

why this work

Business owners are busy running the business they already have.

There’s rarely a shortage of opportunities. The challenge is choosing which ones deserve attention—and having someone who can do the work to move them forward.

I work alongside independent owners and family businesses to identify, develop and pursue new sources of business—on a flexible, part-time basis.

I bring an entrepreneurial perspective, practical experience and ongoing attention to opportunities that might otherwise stay on the back burner.

my MISSION

To help business owners bring in new business.
