About John Degen

Visioneers is the foundation of business transition planning. We are the math and design team! John Degen is the founder of Visioneers, LLC and is a Certified Family Business Specialist whose practice focuses on the planning needs of Baby Boomer business owners, and owners of businesses that are in their growth and mature stages. John cut his teeth in the financial services industry for the past 33 years. Over the last 15 years he has refined his ability to successfully design and execute exit strategies for business owners. Many successful business owners find themselves wondering how they will transition from the success they have created to the kind of lasting significance they desire. This is a question John Degen faced personally, and one he addresses frequently with clients. As business owner, John is very much aware of the importance of planning. Unfortunately, his father’s massive stroke years ago prevented father and son working together. It is this kind of firsthand experience with the realities of business planning — or lack thereof — that gives John the perspective and ability to do critically meaningful work with his clients.
