Founder

John has over twenty five years of experience in Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur, VP/Head of Talent, and account manager. After partnering in two staffing firms in the 1990’s which both achieved successful exits, John started the original Right Resource (TRR) in 2001. TRR became an expert partner for series A, B and C startups, recruiting key engineering, executive and marketing talent, often from company inception through exit (Fortify Software, VA Linux, PlaceWare, Vitria Technology, newScale, others). In 15 years, TRR helped more than 100 clients on three continents achieve their growth and talent-bar goals. In 2015, John joined thredUP as their VP Talent, growing their core engineering & marketing teams from 25 to 85 from lean startup to an enduring eCommerce brand. In 2016, John joined Clover Network as Head of Talent, and grew their team from 85 to 529 in 2.5 years. Having operated in economic and market conditions at both extremes of the spectrum, John is focused on sharing the lessons learned and helping companies achieve quick and sustainable success while avoiding pitfalls common to early-stage companies. John studied International Business at San Jose State University. He’s an avid golfer, cyclist and pilot, and a mediocre but enthusiastic musician.
