Kirker

John is a creative technical force. Working with him was always fun, and together we came up with terrific offerings. He was able to act as the IT department for our large advertising agency and was a key member of our interactive team at launch. You can count on John to have many great ideas and a few surprises as well!

I worked with John for 8-years. He has an incredible sense for the nuances affecting the profitability of business, and with his expert technical knowledge he creates the most effective strategies to create profits.

John is the rare individual who is skilled in both the technical and people side of technology development. He does whatever it takes to get the job done, and done right, the first time. Consider yourself blessed if you can get this guy working on a project with you.

John is a never-ending source of ideas and has an incredible passion for experimenting with them. Fortunately, he also has the ability to help others see and share his vision and empower them to make it happen. No matter what he pursues, I believe he’ll succeed and enjoy every opportunity I get to share that journey with him.

I have known John since 1995. He never stops surprising me with innovations and new ideas to make the Internet more valuable to a business. Whenever I have a question related to the Internet John is one of the first people I call.

John creates an incredibly high “batting average” by focusing on the business or marketing challenge first, then the technology solution. This counter-intuitive to most tech professionals who typically want to dazzle you. John helped transform our business, making our overall product offering coherent, appealing, and most importantly, profitable.

I’ve had the advantage of collaborating with John for over 10 years. I say with confidence that he is one of the most active thinkers and doers I know. He has the insight of someone twice his age yet maintains an open mind being self-aware of his bias and passions disallowing them to cloud judgments. This has translated into successful businesses where he and all around achieved what they set out to do.

I worked with John while at TMP Worldwide. I sincerely believed that we could not have done the work we did without his talent. He is one of the few individuals with true vision in the technology-marketing community.

John Kirker is dangerous. He’s not only wicked smart as a business strategist and “connector” – but he’s also a deeply competent architect of all things web. John has introduced me to very credible people in a variety of disciplines. He’s well respected, and as such, people are always looking to John for who he can bring to the table. John totally “gets” web architecture and user experience. He understands the value each individual brings to the meeting and makes sure to help coordinate the dialog to bring immediate value to the parties involved. Credible. Wicked smart. Engaging. Extremely high integrity. Positive presence in the boardroom.

“John is a brilliant entrepreneur – a true visionary. He was a strong part in our online launch and building our internet initiative that resulted in creating millions in revenues.” – Damian Raffele

John is the first talent I have seen with a highly acute technical sense, coupled with a awesome client interface skills. Simply put, customers love him because he is great communicator and he really knows how to use the Internet and brick and mortar to create profits.
