John brings decades of experience in finance and enterprise software to Host Analytics as the company continues to disrupt the traditional EPM market.

John started his career in Accounting and Finance then moved into Strategic Marketing, Product Marketing and Marketing Management roles in enterprise software after completing his MBA in Marketing at Boston College.
