OPS

John Jericho

To many that know him, it may look like John’s business career is full and extensive. To John, it is merely the beginning. He has worked with companies all across the GTA and been a founding member of scaled businesses from: zero to the $7-10m range. 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 said that he “felt like a benched player”, and at that very moment he decided that he wanted more. The passion for the game is one that will never go away. He now lives here in Toronto- hungry as ever. His bread and butter are: operations, special projects, and brand development. He is incredibly competitive and strategic in the way he thinks about decisions.
