Colleagues describe him as "A leader is more than just a person with a fancy moniker after their name. A leader inspires and motivates; when they ask you to dig a ditch, you respond with, “where’s the shovel,” and you start digging because there is mutual respect and you trust that the ask is worthy. A leader mentors you when you are doing something that could be done in a better, more effective way. A leader acts with the utmost integrity; they do right by themselves, the company they work for, and the team they lead. That sums up John Schwan – day in, day out… one of the best leaders in the industry I have had the honor of working alongside." and "John is fantastic with partners; he truly understands their business and priorities. He meticulously crafted channel programs that are meaningful and profitable to our partners while balancing the priorities of Puppet's corporate goals. As a manager, John provided me the freedom to run my business as I saw fit while always being a call or text away to support me when needed. He's one of a kind and consider yourself fortunate if you have the chance to work with him!"
