John is an accomplished Greek American businessman and corporate executive. At 37, he became one of the youngest CIO’s and top executives of a publicly traded company and has worked under legendary leaders such as Advertising tycoon Sir Martin Sorrell and political strategist, Mark Penn.
He spent his early childhood in Kefalonia and graduated from the Technology Institute of Argostoli, with a degree in Computer Science. He later attended St. John’s University earning a degree in Communications and Business.
After working in Finance, he started his long-term career in Advertising, working for agencies like Y&R and Wunderman overseeing their technology infrastructure. In 2010 he was appointed by the advertising mogul Sir Martin Sorrell to help transform WPP Group, the largest communications and marketing holding company in the world with a $20B Market Cap. After a successful 10-year tenure, he left WPP to join political pollster and strategist Mark Penn to help transform MDC Partners, a billion-dollar holding company that was in turmoil.
He was appointed Global Chief Information Officer for MDC and was responsible for leading the Group’s IT transformation in preparation for the merger with The Stagwell Group. He accelerated the transformation and in less than one year successfully delivered $25M in operational savings and built a state-of-the-art cloud-based office space at One WTC (World Trade Center), which was designed to drive collaboration between 13 of the Group’s agencies and set the standard blueprint on future consolidations and buildouts. His strategy helped the organization navigate challenging and evolving technology demands during a global pandemic and his efforts largely contributed to help position the merger for success, driving the stock price from $1.97 to $9.20, and ultimately grew the company from a $1B market cap to $2B.
He previously served as Vice President of Global Technology at MDC and formed an internship program for the group which onboarded many young students, helping them grow and identify their career path. Many of the interns were Greek Americans, who have now been hired post-graduation by prestigious global organizations.
He currently resides in Long Island NY with his wife Natasha, who is also an accomplished corporate executive having worked for companies such as Barclays, WPP, AOL and Disney. They have three beautiful children, Christos,Tristan and Andriana. When he is not transforming companies, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling to Greece, and helping his community through charitable donations and philanthropic efforts.
