Interim VP Business DevelopmentDon't take my word for it. Here are some comments from clients and colleagues |
After reading about Juan Carlos' work and explanation of the S-curve, I reached out to him, and have since had the pleasure of collaborating with him on the Harvard Business Review article, "e;Throw Your Life a Curve"e;. I subsequently referred him as a lead developer for a start-up that I was working with from whom he received nothing but glowing reviews. A MIT-trained systems engineer, computer programmer, strategic thinker. He knows his stuff. But his secret sauce is that he is open to thinking across silos, to collaborating, to learning. Truly, a dream to work with. Highly recommend.
Whitney Johnson
Executive Advisor, AuthorIt is a pleasure to recommend Juan Carlos, he is a professional with a very strong strategic mindset. We contracted Juan to manage the BD and Strategic regional area and he raised the bar in terms of our BD and strategic planning process. Juan did a very good job in bringing talent to his team and align them to deliver very solid results. Juan has strong values and he is a very ethical person that has demonstrated be very professional especially in difficult situations. It was a pleasure to work with him during this period of time. I am sure Juan will have a bright future in front of him!
