John has over thirty years of experience building, scaling, and managing technology to support the objectives of businesses of all sizes and in various industries. If you need a temporary CIO/COO or just clear, effective guidance, John can provide expert tactical or strategic plans to help you achieve your next level of success. I've never worked with anyone better at understanding the goal, defining the technology requirements for supporting it, and developing the plan and resources to execute it. In a world full of firms who are experts in making promises, John has distinguished himself by keeping them.

We set out to rebuild the entire infrastructure of our technology platform. Due to the financial nature of our business we had to address near perfect reliability, scalability, and performance; all with a laser focus on security. John and his team came in and helped us design a core system that met these requirements and provided flexibility to adapt to future market demands. We found great value not only in John’s technical capabilities, but also in his experience in and understanding that driving revenue is the ultimate end for most product development. His continued follow up and involvement with our team, when necessary, remains helpful today. I am certain an engagement with John Burke and Team Quantum will bring value to your organization just as it has ours.

John Burke was the IT genius behind Ambit Energy. He engaged me early on to determine the needs for the business and drove the prioritization of IT projects across the business. John sought to include all players to ensure the end product was embraced, but tightly managed the scope in order to meet launch dates.

When system vendors failed to deliver, John started from scratch, architecting, coding, and building back-office systems and an IT organization that ultimately became the envy of the competitive electrical utility industry. The team and systems that John built were the result of seeking to be the best, but not letting perfection become the enemy of our progress. Understanding how our resource limitations and operational demands could easily overwhelm and delay timely deliveries, John’s rule was, “Never let good enough be good enough.” He was always willing to circle back in time and improve previous systems, enabling Ambit to move forward with the critical software needed to manage our hyper- growth.

I would endorse John Burke to anyone trying to assess, evaluate, upgrade or build state of the art systems or an IT organization. He was our CIO/CTO for 14 years, from our inception until the company sold in 2019. That is a rarity in today’s world and a testament to John’s ability, character and leadership skills. Over the years, we continuously layered more operational responsibilities to John, and he assumed numerous turn-around responsibilities after the departure of our COO.

John’s talented senior team was incredibly loyal to him. They trusted him, and so did the senior executives. He is a good man.
