"John was instrumental in negotiating the sale of the Company from the original founder to the current investors in February 2009 and was an important player in transitioning of the Company to the new management team. Career Step's growth and success in the last year is largely due to John's ability to balance the needs of new and old investors alike and his exceptional operational management skills."
