John Florez is the CEO and Founder of RightWorks, an award-winning staffing firm headquartered in Austin, Texas. With over 60 clients and close to 100 team members, RightWorks has positioned itself as one of Austin's top staffing agencies specializing in recruiting Technology and Finance talent. In addition, his passions also extend to investing in early stage start ups such as Yotme and Student Ally. Previously, he served on the Newport, Rhode Island City Council and ran unsuccessfully for State Senate in Rhode Island. After realizing that his talents are far stronger in the world of business, John left politics to focus on one goal, to grow a billion dollar organization that is equally focused on improving the lives of the disenfranchised as it is its bottom line. Today, he resides in Austin with his wife and business partner, Karen Sironen, their two kids, Martha and Nefi as well as his dogs Lobo, Louie, Sadie, and Gigi.
