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 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’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.

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.
