John Sleconich is a President, CEO at Lion Power. He possess expertise in engineering management, engineering, six sigma, systems engineering, program management and 21 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked for John for several years at Cessna Aircraft Company, where he was the Director of Avionics and Electrical Systems. He is hands down the best direct boss I have ever had in 35+ years in the aerospace industry. He has the rare combination of outstanding technical skills, organizational skills, people skills and that rarest commodity "common sense" that separates him the vast majority of executives. John is equally comfortable on the engineering floor or board room. I have never met anyone who did not enjoy working for John. He recognizes talent and hires good people but most impressively, people always get better working for John." and "I worked with John at Proterra where he was VP Engineering and I was CFO. I’ve worked with hundreds of engineers at Ford and within Toyota group. In my opinion, John is a first-class professional who: • Built an excellent engineering team that included experts in vehicle engineering, manufacturing engineering, electrical engineering & battery engineering • Built an industry benchmark electric bus (the Proterra Catalyst) with improved efficiency, lower costs, better quality and expanded feature content • Built strong working relationships with suppliers, manufacturing, finance, investors & customers – John is a great salesperson and a great teammate John’s integrity, can-do attitude & professional experience separate him from his peers. I would welcome the opportunity to work with John again and can highly recommend him for VP-level/COO roles."
