John Coleman is a Experienced Technology Leader at Commercial Bank of California. He possess expertise in telecommunications, business, risk management, team building, management and 29 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "John has been a valued SecureTheVillage (STV) board member since 2015. His value flows from several positive qualities, both hard and soft, that he possesses. On the hard side, he has significant experience in the basics: technology, technology management, information security, risk management, etc. Moreover, he is unusual in understanding these disciplines from both the operational perspective and the perspective of the auditor. On the soft side, John cares. He’s collaborative. He’s easy to work with. He communicates thoughtfully and effectively. He’s got a great attitude and is a consummate professional. Basically, he’s one of the people that can be counted on to be there. John has been vital to SecureTheVillage's initiatives. He leads the Planning Team for STV's Financial Services Cybersecurity Roundtable and, while EVP at Grandpoint, regularly hosted meetings. John serves on the Planning Committee of STV's annual information security conference, held jointly with Pepperdine Graziadio’s innovative Cyber Risk Certificate program (CyRP). While EVP at Grandpont, John organized several customer outreach programs to help educate the bank’s customers on business email compromise (BEC) and other cyber crimes. John was one of the original developers of STV’s monthly webinar series to provide a basic information security management “curriculum.” He has been my guest twice, first in June 2018 on the topic of "Conducting an Information Security Risk Assessment” and again in December 2018 when we discussed "Third-Party Security Management." See https://securethevillage.org/information-security-management-webinars/. John was also one of the technologists who co-created STV’s “Basic Code of IT Security Management” as a minimal set of basic IT security management practices that every organization needs to adopt. Based on the CIS-20, the Code is designed not be a set of best-practices but as a basic floor. It’s truly a pleasure to recommend John and I do so unreservedly.", "I greatly enjoyed working with John while at Sigue and it is my pleasure to recommend him as a valuable senior management player within any dynamic organization, large or small. John has a very solid technology background, amply complemented with a broad and astute business sense. As CTO-CIO he was successful in delivering the technical requirements and business processes needed to compete in the very demanding global payments industry. John has excellent people managing skills and worked very well with all corporate stakeholders; in my particular case he effectively teamed with our Sales and Marketing and Product Development teams to ensure the successful launching of new products and services within strict time-to-market and reliability parameters. I would welcome the opportunity of working with John again in the future; I highly recommend him as a competent and seasoned leader for developing and managing complex IT infrastructures in the financial and payments industry.", and "John and I worked together at Citibank (Banamex USA) in several projects. Based on our professional association over the past several years, I’ve found John to be honest and tactful in his approach to the work. He demonstrated a high degree of loyalty and trustworthiness to his peers and to his associates and carried out his obligations with vigor and resolve. As head of the IT department, John accepted his varied responsibilities with enthusiasm and professionalism. He is also very personable with strong relationship building skills. He is a team builder and a team player, and he consistently accepted to be either. He provided excellent insight into new projects, new technologies and any groups responsible for identifying or implementing tools, telecommunications, utilities, or related hardware and software. I wholeheartedly would embark in any project with John in any industry for which he demonstrates an interest. I could describe his achievements and success stories at Citibank (Banamex USA), but I would rather acknowledge that those great results were very important to our team and to the organization."
