About John Powers

Hi, I’m John! I am currently looking for my next opportunity (I left the work force due to spinal surgery and subsequent recovery). Here is a little about me: As a former Manager at Activision Blizzard, I helped lead the Battle.net and PC commercial revenue team overseeing the pricing, promotion, merchandising, and analytics of our online platform and games. I leveraged my MBA and MPP degrees, to deliver data-driven insights and recommendations that drove growth and profitability for the business. While at Activision Blizzard, I was on the company's rising star list and led a number of really exciting initiatives; to include hiring top MBA talent into the MBA rotational program. Prior to joining Activision Blizzard, I was in a Rotational Leadership Development Program (RLPD) at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where I gained exposure to various functions and businesses within the financial service industry. Prior to transitioning to the corporate world, I was an Intelligence Officer in the United States Marine Corps, where I deployed to multiple locations and conducted intelligence analysis, planning, and operations in support of national security and the Global War on Terror. With over eight years of work experience in diverse and dynamic environments, I have developed a strong set of skills in finance, marketing, sales, and business intelligence. I am passionate about creating value and impact for customers, partners, and stakeholders, and I am always eager to learn new things and challenge myself. I love being a part of a team, where I can apply my expertise and experience to advance a company’s mission while working alongside incredible teammates. I'm extremely excited to get back to work and can't wait to share more with my network when I land back on my feet!
