As Business Development Executive, John is responsible for sales and account management.

What is one of your favorite memories about your time at FSU?
I actually have two memories that stand out. One was my study abroad experience in Valencia, Spain, in the summer of 2015. Living in another country was amazing, and I highly recommend it. The second memory is related to watching and attending a variety of FSU sporting events. If I had to pick a favorite game, it would be the 2013 National Championship football game.
 
What advice would you give prospective FSU management majors?
Get involved in something bigger than yourself. Whether it is working a job, holding a leadership position in a club or doing volunteer work, it will help set you apart from other candidates applying for the same jobs when you graduate. If you can show potential employers that you were able to succeed in the classroom while being involved in other activities, it will really boost your resume over the competition.
 
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
I had the pleasure of working as a project coordinator during two waves of the Mayo Clinic Epic EHR go-live. These projects (streamlining data systems) cost the Mayo Clinic more than $1 billion, and it was a great experience working with their leadership team in Minnesota for the duration of these projects.
 
Tell us about a recent meaningful accomplishment?
I was recently promoted into a management role in my organization, and I am now helping lead a team of six account executives in our management trainee program. It is my job to teach them the introductory stages of sales within Healthcare IT and the day-to-day activities of a top salesperson. In June, we will be hiring a new class of 10 account executives that I will also play a part in managing and leading.
