OPS

John Jericho

John has worked with companies all across the GTA and been a founding member of multiple scaled businesses from: zero to $7-10m. He found success as both an operator and investor. This success led him to an early retirement– where he chose London, England as his home base.

That time was short lived. While on the beaches of Positano, John felt “like a benched player”. His passion for business is one that will never go away. He now lives here in Toronto, scaling businesses. He works on: operations, special projects, and brand development.
