Experience

1. Senior Client Executive, Sparq Holdings, Inc

   Sparq

   Aug 2018 — Present

   Sparq is a Product Strategy, Design & Digital Engineering Firm. Backed by Harvest Partners and Bain Capital, our clients value our speed, quality, great outcomes & experiences, and a lower total cost of engagement. Our clients choose Sparq for 1. Product Strategy, Development & Launch, 2. Platform Modernization, 3. Cloud Enablement & Modernization, 4. Data, Analytics & AI, and 4. Product Evolution & Optimization. Our industry-leading software development colleagues understand U.S. consumer culture and common business practices and operate within similar time zones as our clients to facilitate real-time collaboration. The combined result is a 2-4x speed advantage over offshore options and a 15-30% cost advantage over onsite contractors. Clients typically turn to Sparq when they are struggling in these specific areas: · Inability to successfully deploy applications in a timely manner · Quality concerns with resources and deliverables using offshore partners for development and ongoing support · Escalating high costs and limited availability of local talent, regional project firms, and IT contractors As Senior Client Executive, John is responsible for working with our clients and prospective clients to establish initial relationships, identify organizational alignment, understand client business issues and ways we might solve them, and lead the appropriate Sparq colleagues and solutions to best help our clients. Achievements include recognition as 2019 Rookie of the Year with bookings of $10m, then achieving and maintaining #1 and #2 Client Executive status and receiving Circle of Stars accolades each year with a total of over $100+ million in booked business in five years. BetterCloud and ParkMobile are two of John\'s recent Client Success Story videos featured on his LinkedIn profile.
