John brings over 30 years of product commercialization and consulting experience with both pharma and medical device portfolios including direct experience with hemostatic and wound care products.

Since 2019 John has been advising medical device and pharma clients as founding partner of Orrizonte Partners. From 2013-19, John held senior consulting positions with IQVIA and Deloitte Transaction & Business Analytics advising life sciences clients (including UHP) regarding market assessment and commercialization strategies. From 1998-2013, John worked in business strategy and commercial development roles with various companies including Johnson & Johnson’s Pharma and Medical Devices divisions where he led the team that developed the initial Marketing and Launch Excellence Framework, a cross-functional commercial planning process.
