While at his former firm, John delivered and implemented the firm's global Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution, adopting a uniquely collaborative partnering approach with a leading AI innovator.
"Real estate, energy and projects are major areas of growth for the Firm's EUME practice and the wider Firm, and John is an important strategic lateral hire for KWM."
