Hi, I'm Jon and I'm a builder. 

Over the course of my 15-year career in management consulting and technology companies, I've built teams, I've built processes, I've built products, and I've built businesses (the 10-figure kind). I'm at my best when I'm in a role with scope and significance, and my superpower is consistency.

Some things I'm GOOD at include dealing with ambiguity and making good decisions in fast-paced, uncertain environments. Some things I'm *GREAT* at include obsessing over customers and developing my people.

Follow me here on LinkedIn if you want to hear my thoughts on Amazon, building great teams, or the current state of Chicago sports.

Director of Ecommerce Marketplaces - Amazon | Retail Media | Amazon 1P/3P/Ads | ex-WPP | ex-LEGO | Head of Amazon

I am an intrepid, results-driven marketing and eCommerce leader with a record of global achievement in expanding brand awareness and growing sales, revenue, and market share through multifaceted marketplace strategies. My ability to enhance efficiency while building strategic internal and external alliances revitalizes teams, business relationships, products, and categories allowing me to create, deploy, and optimize digital marketing campaigns that exceed ROI goals.  
As a team and project leader, I reach across functions gaining stakeholder consensus and aligning action plans with company goals to design and deliver solutions on time and within budget.  My Amazon expertise and analytical skills complement my collaborative acumen driving keen evaluation of data, metrics, and trends to identify opportunities for generating revenue through organic and paid strategies, cost control, resource management, and process improvements.  My dedication to integrity, quality service, and best practices fosters ethical, effective teams who surpass customer satisfaction KPIs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.”  I enjoy inspiring those I lead to overcome challenges and watching them set goals they achieve.  Every skill they acquire and every quest they complete builds pride and confidence they carry with them and use to inspire others to also believe in themselves and achieve their goals.  This is a gift that keeps giving, empowering individuals, teams, and companies to dream it, plan it, do it.
