About John Eliyas

I have over 20 years of experience in Mental Health and Criminal Justice Services. I have successfully led programs and organizations of 100+ staff. Well versed in utilizing TPS and Six Sigma to streamline operations, I have grown systems and increased revenue at every organization I have been a part. Believing one has to lead from the front by actively engaging with staff and peers, exploiting their strengths, and meeting changing environments is a hallmark of my leadership style. I have developed and overseen revenue generating programs grounded in evidence based models across multiple states.Bringing this skill-set to the fore allows me to adapt to almost any business environment, minimize learning curve, and immediately produce results.
