John Strickland
Partner
Entrepreneur | MBA
Hey all! I'm John Strickland. I grew up in a tiny Long Island town with a single mother whose resilience and determination still influence me today. She stood as a beacon of perseverance, teaching me the importance of steadfast resolve and never giving up, even when faced with the most arduous challenges. Her enduring spirit became a guiding light, shaping my character and approach towards both life and career.
Informed by these early lessons, I stepped into the realm of consulting and entrepreneurship, earning an MBA from Rice University and spending more than a decade in various industries. I have applied the tenacity instilled in me during my youth to every professional role, whether it was executing strategic M&A transactions or managing large-scale projects to ensure optimal performance for enterprise clients.
