About John Exline

I am a Multi-Unit, Service and Retail Operations executive who drives growth and creates value. I have consistently increased revenue through new store development, same store sales and strategic acquisitions. My keen analysis of customer and staff insights enabled expansion of product and service offerings resulting in increased market and wallet share. My ability to move nimbly from vision to execution enabled me to turn a $24MM acquisition into a highly profitable $524MM division of a Fortune company. My deep commitment to collaboration and effective win-win negotiation allowed me to establish a thriving 15+year relationship with Walmart stores resulting in exponential unit growth. I am known for building scalable infrastructure, driving multiple projects and aligning team members with the vision. As an approachable and enthusiastic leader I effectively translate boardroom strategy into concrete implementation. My candid and transparent communication style creates clarity of mission and inspires employee commitment. I am looked to as a steady influence in times of rapid change. In my next position as a member of a senior leadership team, I will lead a customer-focused business to achieve objectives and will promote a culture that recognizes the value of engaged and successful teams.
