Melissa Cowdry – VP Global Marketing

John consistently approached complex challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset to deliver growth. His ability to build meaningful relationships, both internally and with external stakeholders, was particularly impressive, demonstrating both leadership acumen and strategic thinking.

Heather McKenzie – Co-Founder Velocity Labs

I’ve worked with John at two agencies now, and more recently he managed me and the rest of the client services team. He was always super supportive, one of the first people I’d go to if I got stuck. He just handled the trickiest client conversations so calmly and always found a way through. Just a brilliant person to work with, and an all-round great guy.

Albadr Alhashemi – Head Of SEO

John parachuted into SUSO as an Account Director at the beginning of COVID, just as global panic and uncertainty were setting in. From his very first week, John wasted no time in establishing client relationships and navigating extremely challenging circumstances, as clients were panicking and considering cancelling due to the pandemic. His ability to rapidly build rapport and seek win-win outcomes during such an unprecedented time was nothing short of life saving.

From an internal team perspective, John’s excellent rapport building continued. He quickly earned the confidence of team members through his professionalism and his ability to manage the unique challenges of COVID. His calm and cheerful disposition gave everyone greater confidence when communicating with clients, making even the most difficult conversations considerably easier.

I conclude by saying John was nothing short of a pleasure to work with. He is a rock around which a team can be built around.

John’s management played a key role in my development early in my career. He not only helped me adjust to the fast paced environment I joined as a graduate but also gave me space and encouragement to learn new things beyond the roles I was hired to do. Without this help I would not be where I am today and I owe a lot of thanks to Johns management for the way my career has progressed.

When we worked together previously at SUSO and 4PS Marketing, John was an excellent manager and a significant mentor to me when I was still inexperienced in the industry and as I developed over the years. John was highly encouraging of me to achieve my best and was great at laying out periodic goals for me to measure my progression, thanks to which I was eventually promoted.
