Colleagues describe him as "Since 1996 I have been fortunate to work for John at Sony's Pro-Audio lab in Oxford, and more recently Oxford Digital Limited. During that time I found him to be a great manager and at the same time a good friend. John has a tenacious entrepreneurial spirit, driven by a deep understanding of digital technology and its potential. In this way he transformed Sony's R&D facilities in Oxford from a cost centre into a business group dealing with retail software sales, technology licensing and B2B sub-system supply, and eventually to an independent company. It gives me great pleasure to recommend John.", "John has the uncanny ability of having his fingers on the pulse accross the whole audio industry - portable, home and professional. Working with John has always been a very positive experience, John brings enthusiasm, knowledge and a significant business acumen with him to every meeting and business opportunity. I look forward to working with him again in the future.", and "I worked with John over several years at Sony, initially when he was leading a key part of Advanced Developments function, to successfully leading the full R&D and D&D teams and embracing the transition into software. John was highly respected for his engineering capability and as a performance manager. He built up an excellent pool of talent and successors along the way and was a natural choice when we needed someone to give the struggling Oxford-based pro-audio development business strong leadership and project management. John effectively rescued the business within a matter of months, enabling them to achieve one of the most important product launches in the pro-audio studio world. It is true testament that John continues to lead this group as their CEO into an expanded market and exciting new ventures."
