John Di Frances
Question? So why is a global business consultant and author writing fiction?
Answer: Because whoever you are, we all need a little fantasy … make-believe … an escape from REAL LIFE. And if it incorporates a bit of suspense, all the better!
Face it, modern life is fraught with pressure, stress, deadlines, commitments …
John’s multifaceted career has included some unusual activities from Advanced (Black) Military Weapons Systems Design to working undercover in the Caribbean Islands to uncover and seize assets of white-collar criminals. One such assignment included seizing of a $13.6 million dollar estate. He has worked in cooperation with the FBI, RCMP and the Swiss National Police.
However, most of his professional life has been dedicated to helping companies, nonprofits and government agencies in the twin disciplines of Open Innovation and Strategy, or what John terms Strategic Open Innovation. He has consulted globally to a wide range of organizations from Fortune 100’s to start-ups. The author of multiple business books, he is also a sought-after keynote speaker.
