John brings global experience from companies like GE and Johnson & Johnson, as well as leadership roles across a range of healthcare organizations. His career has spanned learning and development, global operations, and executive leadership—all driven by his personal motto: “Always find something that enables you to do both good and well.” 

John’s connection to our mission is personal. Having studied abroad himself, he and his wife of 28 years Megan encouraged all four of their older children to study and intern abroad—from Europe to China.  “The opportunity to help young adults maximize their college experience through new skills, new experiences, and new cultures—and simply watch the expressions of wonderment when people see the beauty in other parts of the world—truly has me excited to dive in with the team and our university partners.” 

John, Megan, and their youngest of five children reside in Scottsdale. In his free time, John enjoys playing and watching soccer (football!) with his kids and traveling with his family.
