OutboundEngine CEO and leadership

Having been both a bootstrapped entrepreneur and an executive leader in multi-billion organizations, I feel as though I am in a unique position to drive OutboundEngine’s growth while serving as a champion for small business owners. Previously, I was Senior Vice President at Mr. Cooper, where I served on the leadership team that generated over $1 billion in revenue and $220 million in earnings annually by bringing innovative credit products to over 3 million homeowners. 25 years of successfully leading companies through sweeping digital change and customer-focused product evolution, I have also held senior leadership positions at Monster.com and J. Walter Thompson among others.Very fortunate to have been peer nominated for Austin Business Journals Mid-Market CEO of The Year in 2019 and in 2020 was named as Best CEO for Women by Comparably. When I am not advocating on behalf of American small businesses, you can find me on the tennis court or spending time outside with my wife, kids and three dogs.

John leads everything financial for OutboundEngine.

John spent more than 15 years in the private equity industry with Lone Rock Technology Group, The Carlyle Group, and Liberty Partners. He also started and led a medical devices company, where he saw first-hand the challenges of navigating the complex world of digital marketing as a small company with a limited budget. He holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, where he was designated a Palmer Scholar, and a BA in Economics from Davidson College, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. John played soccer in college and continues to spend most of his free time on the soccer fields as he follows his three children’s budding soccer careers.
