John Jones Email and Phone Number

John Jones is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe him as "I have worked directly with John on a number of security projects over the last 6 years where I think his tenacity and attention to detail have been a big contributory factor to ensuring they completed successfully and on time. A number of the projects required coercing disparate teams across IBM cloud and IBM to agree on both strategy and approach and John has always excelled at gaining agreement while keeping all parties motivated and involved. On a personal level, he is a great guy to work with and has a great sense of humour and is someone people are very happy to take direction from. I would be happy to recommend John for any position involving complex program management or leadership position." and "I worked with John at the IBM Global Technology Services, End User Services division. During that time, John demonstrated cross-functional leadership as a Program manager and as a Product/Services owner for implementing the go-to-market strategy. He led the program to develop first of a kind (FOAK) SaaS solutions for mobility services as well as End User Computing. John was instrumental in providing thought leadership that helped develop and deliver SaaS solutions such as Self Enablement Portal for IBM global clients successfully. After I moved to Watson & Cloud Platform division as the CTO first then as a CISO, I (re)-hired John to drive the vulnerability management, transition to Agile methodology, and to create a Security Focal Program. He worked closely with IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS organizations and collectively developed the Vulnerability Management framework based on risk, established continuous improvement process across these organizations thereby reducing the vulnerabilities and complying with the IBM Cloud Security Policy. This was a huge win for IBM Cloud since this compliance helped with various industry certifications. Another key achievement under his leadership, was to partner with the Business and AppDev organizations to deliver the Security Focal program that resulted in implementing Shift-Left strategy for the IBM Watson Cloud Platform. This program not only rendered cost efficiency but also helped deliver sprints much faster than before since there were few bugs identified during penetration tests performed at end of the sprints. I would recommend John for any position that require innovation, agility, and deliver results faster to the business."
