Executive leadership

>>>Hey, everyone. I'm super excited to present our next candidate for Project #1000Hires. Today, we have coming our dear friend, John. John, first of all, thank you so much for joining us on this initiative.
<<<Thank you so much, Ephraim. It's actually a pleasure and an honor to be part of this project. I'm grateful to be a part of it.
>>>The pleasure is ours. To host you and to give you a platform to hopefully get you hired, is an absolute real honor for us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity. John, in order to get to know you better and find the right role for you, why don't you give us a brief description of who you are and where you're from?
<<<Born and raised on the island of Malta, I have subsequently lived and worked in numerous countries around the world, including the United States, Germany, Sweden, France, Israel, United Emirates, and also London, England, where I'm currently based. I also would like to add that throughout the years, having lived in multiple countries, I succeeded in mastering several languages, which is something I'm very proud of. I'm proud to say that today I can speak seven languages fluently.
>>>Wow. That's a pretty big accomplishment. I'm assuming, in between all the time you found to travel the whole entire world, work in and around the whole entire world, learn seven languages, from a boy who grew up in Malta, who obviously had big dreams to accomplish multiple things and to do multiple things, I'm assuming you had a lot of accomplishments. Sure, go ahead.
<<<I have had multiple accomplishments. The one thing I would say, whether it was creating businesses, turning businesses around, learning seven languages, starting companies, they're all great accomplishments all put together, but I'm a great believer that my greatest accomplishment is still yet to come. The idea behind that and my philosophy behind that is if I've already achieved my greatest accomplishment, then everything else becomes secondary. I always strive, eventually, for the greatest accomplishment. If I could highlight one very successful project was a while back, I was engaged by a company to help it expand into new international markets, to export its services and products into previously unknown territories. It was a complex project in the sense where, because we wanted to go into multiple markets simultaneously, everything had to run parallel at the same time and focus on different markets. As you appreciate, each market has its own business nuance, has its own cultural nuance, business practice differs from one with the other, market needs are different from one market to another. I applied what I call my six key strategy points, effectively, and I ran them parallel. They're all identical, but slightly adapting them to each different market. It was things like setting clear goals, not just for the umbrella project, but also for each individual market. Clearly researched my targeted market very in depth to understand how easy is it for me to go into that market, what does the market need that I can actually provide it to attract the market to come to me? Equally then, choosing my mode of entry. Different markets have different needs. When I talk about mode of entry, I had to look at, do I go in as a joint venture? Do I go in as a partnership, an outright acquisition, or do I actually build from the ground up? Clearly, the ground up is the little more complex one because you literally have to start from zero. At the same time, I also have to look at financing. These things need a lot of money and financing. I needed to figure out, how do I get the financing? How do I build it, create a budget into this, and then allocate that financing for each different market. Putting all that together, I developed a strategy for it. I had then created different teams for each national market, focusing on each market, and they run simultaneously. The final thing was effectively the new market entry implementation. It was good. It was great. It was very successful. I'm proud of that as an achievement. That's where we are today.
>>>That's incredible. That's absolutely incredible, a very humbled achievement. It's amazing. Flipping the script a little bit, let's talk about challenges. What's a personal challenge you went through that you were able to overcome?
<<<From a business perspective, I'll go back to a time when I was hired by a company to transform its business and turn it around from a substantially loss-making operation with a target of actually breaking even within a period of one year. This was a big challenge, as much as the industry that I was working in was severely impacted by the negative economic climate of the preceding two years. That alone itself provided not just as an organization a challenge, but also me as a personal challenge because I knew I was already facing big hurdles and big barriers before I even into this project. I went in, I hit the ground running. I knew I had to step completely out of my comfort zone and go into areas where I had to learn fast while putting in my ideas into place. The idea was to build a transformation process, thinking outside the box, coming up with creative solutions for the business, and creating what they call this turnaround strategy. At the same time, I also had to recruit, build, and mentor a senior leadership team who was equally comfortable in working outside its own comfort zone, to help me and to enable me to turn my vision for the business into a successful commercial strategy and then implement it as a business solution. We did it. It resulted that within a period of one year, not only did we turn the business around, we actually managed to make a slight net profit from the previous year where the company had actually lost several million dollars. The turnaround was really quite substantial. The challenges were clearly numerous. Some were more complex than others, but I saw them as opportunities to extend myself and the team that I was leading to be able to attain our personal and professional goals at the same time. I always believe a challenge is an opportunity.
>>>Wow. John, I know, in your next role, you show up with leadership experience. You show up with the ability to create a plan, but not just to create a plan, but to do the action, to put it into place, the ability to mentor people, but what are you looking for in your next role?
<<<Where I see where I see myself is effectively a leadership role in either a national, regional or global capacity, where my 20 plus years international experience of commercial development, people leadership, operations management, and also business transformation, I take those into-- I can cover that in multiple industry sectors. I want to be clear that I have worked with that in the sphere of marketing sectors, but really to be able to take all this experience to a business, to help propel the business to a profitable brand and to a commercial success. It could be CEO, COO, Managing Director, VP, it gives you an idea in terms of the scope of what I'm looking for. What I also would like to highlight here is that, as you are aware, that I am actually based in London, currently, I am open to both national and international relocation. I will happily move for the right opportunity, wherever that opportunity may raise itself.
>>>Amazing. John, I want to wish you a lot of luck, a ton of success, and a tremendous amount of blessings. We're obviously going to do everything in our power to send the right opportunity anywhere in the world along your way possible to get you hired. Thank you.
<<<My pleasure. Thank you so very much for this opportunity to be able to present myself to you and to your network. I really appreciate it. I wish you a great day.
