Managing Director

John serves publicly traded, privately held and private equity backed clients, primarily in the consumer, industrial and technology industries. He has successfully placed senior-level executives in every functional discipline, including human resources, strategy, supply chain & operations, general management, research & development, finance and sales & marketing.

He serves as the functional leader for Slayton's Human Resources Practice.

John joined Slayton Search Partners in 1999 as an associate, and due to his success in recruiting and client satisfaction, he has been progressively promoted. John was elected to Executive Vice President in 2004.

Prior to joining Slayton, John served as a Human Resources Manager for a mid-size automation company in Chicago. Before that, he was a Human Resources representative for a large healthcare product and services company, and for a mid-size business-to-business catalog company. While generalist in nature, his human resources experience dealt primarily with the recruitment of mid- and senior-level executives.
