Wonderful experience working with John Schrei at Desert Velocity.

I had the pleasure of working with John for 2 years. He's a compassionate and team-oriented leader who always appreciates and acknowledges his team members. John fosters a collaborative environment and brings everyone together to discuss and address their needs. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his team and is approachable and supportive. Highly recommend John as a leader who creates a positive work culture.

John Schrei is true professional who will make your organization better. I had the pleasure of working with John for many years when he was a salesman, publisher and publishing director. He was a top performer in every role. If you seek a passionate, committed and results-oriented leader, I heartily recommend John!

I worked with and for Mr. Schrei for nearly 7 years. He blends only the very best in leadership with the camaraderie one finds among peers in the trenches. He's always a step ahead of the industry with a remarkable insight, owed in part to the fact that he is a listener -- a rare commodity in someone who must supervise literally dozens of individuals. Can you imagine an office where the announcement, "The big boss is coming in tomorrow!" is met with anticipation rather than trepidation? When Mr. Schrei came in to engage with our team directly, it was a time for working together and sharing ideas (and occasionally doughnuts), and an opportunity to enjoy a collegiality that let us know the hand on the tiller was one that we could trust. John's "good people." There are too few of those around these days.

John brings a varied and wide spectrum view to every situation and discussion. Extremely professional on every encounter I had with him. His skills, abilities and experiences would add value in any business environment. I consider him a thought leader in business.

I worked with John on a Board that faced some critical challenges for five years. As the eventual chair of that group, I came to rely on John's crisp analysis and recommendations on key issues. John impressed me with his ability to climb a learning curve quickly and effectively. John's rare leadership talent was always evident in our work together and he was excellent at transforming strategy to successful implementation. John is a gentleman of strong character and he earns the trust and respect of his colleagues in short order. John, truly is an astute businessman and a great person to have on your team.

I reported to John for over 10 years and benefited greatly from his overall leadership and direction. Together we launched new business ventures that continue to grow and expand. John helped me navigate through the everchanging opportunities in the media business. He was always open to new ideas and provided the steady leadership that kept our team motivated and committed to the success of our mission.

John has the most amazing ability to bring a team together and inspire positivity. Some people dread having 1:1 with their boss, but having a 1:1 with John will remind you why we have passion for the work we do. He does a very good job of leading by example and taking into account the needs, personalities and strengths of the other members of his team.

I coached John for years so I know his attributes well. He is a leader and gets people engaged. He's definitely in the 90's percentile based on hundreds of leaders I've coached over 30 years. I would be happy to discuss John's qualifications by phone if you'd like more details! He has my phone number.
