John joined the company in 2000 and envisioned a broader market application for its products. Working with his team, John transformed the company from a consumer focused technology company to a company with a product family relied upon by 10,000 users.
Under John’s leadership, JumpTechnologies has also formed several significant strategic
partnerships with such entities as a $100 billion distributor in the healthcare industry and two major wholesalers in the office supply market, which has led to distribution with over 200 dealers.

Most notably, he was co-founder of ShowCase Corporation, which provided business intelligence and data warehousing tools.

ShowCase went public in 1999 with a market cap of $90 million and was later acquired by SPSS (now part of IBM).
