Background

I’m John M Morris

I’ve helped many CEOs throughout my career whether as their executive coach, a venture capital investor, an angel investor or as an investment banker. My career reflects my passion to coach business leaders, spur innovation and growth, and unlock sustainable business value. I have enjoyed the benefit of these different roles. After leading CEO Advisory peer groups in Los Angles for eight years, my wife and I relocated to San Diego to be closer to family. If you’re serious about scaling your business, outperforming the competition, optimizing growth, and becoming a more effective leader – let’s connect.

Expertise

Here to help You Succeed

As a former Vistage Executive Coach, I worked with successful executives across a wide spectrum of backgrounds, business models and industries. Aside from often feeling lonely at the top, the one thing all my CEO clients have in common is a passionate desire to become better – better leaders, making better decisions and getting better results. Executive coaching exposes your blind spots and improves your self-awareness with your leadership team and employees. More effectively communicating your vision helps strengthen your team's sense of engagement and teamwork. Now the team can more effectively execute the strategic priorities that everyone now better understands and embraces.

I was so heads-down on certain things that I wasn’t looking at the big picture enough. Vistage and John have been very helpful to me to look at the big picture and to set my priorities accordingly.
