Chief Threat Management Risk Officer

John Pool

I’m an energetic, results driven leader with a strong reputation as a strategic & critical thinker. I hire the best people in the industry, place them into the right roles and develop their ability to lead and influence others. I love working in fast paced and ambiguous environments. I’m at my best when I’m defining the unknown and working on the most challenging projects. Working with great people is important to me, so I put a tremendous amount of effort into finding the most talented individuals around. I’ve built an amazing network and I’m interested in leveraging those resources on compelling problems that need creative solutions. I’m known for being courageous and voicing my opinions even when they’re not popular. Leveraging my experience and strategic thought, I add value to the initiatives I lead and support. Once decisions are made, I support them with passionate positivity. Communication is my signature strength and I have the proven ability to interact well with Board level officers and non-exempt employees (and everyone in between).
