John Di Frances’ professional career spans thirty years of global corporate, nonprofit, academic and government agency experience in senior executive and industry leadership positions. John has worked with international organizations ranging from aerospace and defense to pharmaceutical; “black” weapons programs and high technology to consumer products; engineering and construction to computers, software and systems as well as religious and philanthropic foundations. His clients have included the U.S. Government, major U.S. corporations such as United Defense, Merck and Medco Pharmaceutical, United Technologies and Textron Corporation as well as numerous offshore corporations, trusts and foundations in Europe and Asia.
John is a 1973 Honors graduate from the University of Wisconsin and holds a degree in Business and Economics. He has been a faculty member of the National Contract Management Association, is a Certified Premier Expert by Prosavy and has earned the PMC (Professional Management Consultant) designation. John has also been retained as an expert witness in corporate litigation.
As a professional motivational keynote speaker, He addresses the issues that are relevant to people today. Whether in the area of Leadership, Innovation, Synergy or Negotiation, John seeks to strip away the limitations of conventional thinking and open his audiences to the untapped possibilities that await them through true “out-of-the-box” thinking. “Most of our perceived limitations are self imposed,” he states. “Once we understand this, we take back the power to make to make a positive contribution to solving the widespread problems that confront us as individuals as well as organizationally.”
Few professional speakers have the native creativity of John and fewer still have used that ability to problem-solve the range of complex dilemmas he has resolved. Most motivational speakers have very limited executive experience domestically, much less internationally. As a keynote speaker, John brings solutions to bear through his experience, on the issues facing his audience and demonstrates how they can take the principles he has developed to solved their own unique problems.
He has also been a member of the following organizations:
American Bar Association
National Speakers Association
Meeting Professionals International
Turnaround Management Association
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
National Contract Management Association
American Defense Preparedness Association
Wisconsin Professional Speakers Association
National Defense Industrial Association
