“The diversity of people and enabling global teams to solve complex problems and provide solutions to our clients that enable them to be more productive is one of the most rewarding aspects of FM.”

ANDY JOHN acknowledges that FM is both a thankless and rewarding career. His rewards come from the relationships he builds as a problem solver. “Ensuring that we engage the future leaders of our clients‘ organizations is just as important as engaging the grassroots of our own industry,” he said. “We need to ensure that we lead with action and become role models for our teams and our customers around how a shift in behavior can promote sustainable future workplaces.” John’s peers describe him as an ambitious and exceptionally driven individual who is shaping the industry as he continues to progress and influence the industry with creative and thoughtful new ideas. John is always looking to move the needle within property management and real estate, utilizing best practices from other industries and new technologies to move his clients and the industry forward.
