Background

About John Selzer

I have worn so many hats in my career, I could open a Lids franchise. I am not a sound bite and cannot easily sum up my experience and capabilities in a simple, summary header. Some define their career with a straight line: pick an industry, find a niche, stay in your lane and ride it out to the gold watch. I am not that person. My career has been more of an exploration of angles. Fortunately, most have been drawn at 45 degrees or greater. I have worked in five industries on two continents. I have done just about everything one can do in corporate finance. I have held leadership roles in investor relations, strategy and operations – twice in the C-suite. I have been a management consultant. I have started companies, advised founders and made angel investments. While this limits my reach as a “subject matter expert” in a single silo, I can do more than most. Or at least I am willing to try harder to figure it out, learn and adapt. I have become the Renaissance man my liberal arts education prepared me to be. I am a creative problem-solver. An experienced executive. An entrepreneur. A multi-dimensional, non-linear thinker. A helper. A prolific purveyor of sarcasm and wit. A leader. A juggler of multiple tasks. A volunteer. A creator of opportunity. A team player. A husband and father. Let’s work together to add a few new things to the list. I’m ready; are you?
