 Guest Speakers: 

 John Cregier is a business executive and consultant with 35 years of leadership experience in both technology and general business domains. His life has been deeply influenced by a mindfulness practice that began almost 25 years ago, including how mindfulness served as an important source of leadership wisdom while fulfilling very demanding responsibilities. John has provided mindfulness instruction to others through his work and in his community. 

John’s professional experience is primarily with a regional wireless operator where he served in the capacity of CIO for 9 years. He also held key leadership roles in marketing and general operations. More recently he founded a consulting firm which provides advisory services focused on IT strategy and investments, and helping firms navigate complex technology-based transformations.
As a Senior Instructor for the Institute for Mindful Leadership, John is inspired to use his real-life experience of leading mindfully to help leaders unlock their true potential and improve their well-being in today’s challenging business environment.
