John Simms’s Expertise As a transformation and growth executive in the human services/non-profit space, I’ve a demonstrated aptitude for building successful teams and developing strategies that drive business growth. The teams I’ve led have been highly engaged and consistently exceeded aggressive targets. As a senior executive, I've developed strong business acumen through intentional involvement with all facets of business operations. With this perspective, I innovatively transform organizations, optimize processes, and collaboratively achieve exceptional results. SELECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: As CEO I’ve led the transformation and stabilization of a financially troubled arts education provider and initiated a capital campaign to relocate to a much larger facility. I've executed a strategy that markedly improved an agency’s culture as well as employee satisfaction as reported by 3rd-party administered anonymous surveys, reducing employee turn-over by 10%. I’ve partnered with department leaders to reduce and realign staff, saving the agency approximately 240,000. In response to the COVID pandemic, I worked with the leadership team to develop policies and protocols that protect the health and well-being of employees with no meaningful disruption in business operations. This included alternative work schedules, enabling remote work opportunities, health screenings, installing protective shields and air filtration systems and more. As COO I project managed a strategic initiative to identify, negotiate and implement a more robust CRM system for agency serving 8,000 families annually with no significant increase in cost. I’ve project managed the implementation of a new HRIS system that reduced reliance on paper forms, decreased payroll processing time by 25%, and reduced costs by 20%. I’ve overseen the process to identify a vendor, draft a scope of work and implement a new phone system touching 140 pieces of equipment spread across 3 offices. As COO, I streamlined the property on-boarding process, which reduced the time from purchase to occupancy by 33% and supported fastest annual growth in company history. AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Executive Leadership Business Transformation Operations Optimization Change Management Strategic Planning Project Management Cross-Functional Team Leadership Financial Oversight Process Improvement Teambuilding Human Capital Management Facilities Management IT Planning Business Acumen Property Management Contract Negotiation CRM I welcome new professional connections.
