While I have established and maintained hundreds of relationships within my industry as well as with provider partners, below is a small sample of the feedback from both my employers and clients over the years. More detailed reviews are available upon request.
“John is the perfect blend of strategy, innovation, and day-to-day IT operations. I’ve known him for years both as a client and business partner and his integrity shines brightly. He is a straight shooter and does what is in the best interests of his clients. As a cloud provider, it is refreshing when a leader stays current on the latest technologies and knows how to use it for strategic advantage. John is such a leader and an all-around great business partner”
I have worked with JM on several projects with both my own firm as well as client firms. John has been able to put together some unique and very high performing teams from his network of colleagues from several industries like no one else we have worked with before. His approach has always been to be a partner rather than a consultant, and his ability to help establish and maintain trust-based relationship has been invaluable. Its rare to find this in business today.
His style as a leader and trusted colleague to his team is exemplary, his ability to articulate both the technical complexities of IT to his team and then translate for the business in a balanced commercial and value adding concept is a valued skill”
“John distinguished himself by consistently delivering both on time and on budget projects that enabled us to improve several key areas of our operation. John is both engaging and well versed in his areas of expertise with superb analytical and communication skills”
I came to know John as an insightful Operations leader in his capacity as CIO for one of our hired Architectural Design firms. Since then John was retained by my firm’s Chief Financial Officer to assist in the redesigning of our Data and Voice communications as cost overruns had been an issue that we felt slowed our ability to grow our business. Johns approach was extremely detailed and reflective of his reputation as an enterprise level leader. The project was not only completed on time, but a closeout financial analysis indicated a higher cost saving than previously anticipated. As a result, JM is now our retained vCIO.
“Mr. Marinello has been a significant asset to the firm both in his capacity as Interim CIO, as well as in his role within our executive advisory committees as a source of information about our industry and the technology that drives it. His ability to communicate with a high level of confidence as well as his integrity has allowed us to make key decisions within our business that would otherwise have been far more difficult and thus costly to reach.”
