Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Harland is a director-level transformation and operations leader with over two decades of experience delivering large-scale transitions, vendor management and facilities-focused business optimization across governments and global enterprises. He has led complex programs for the United Nations, European Space Agency, Vodafone and Cisco, consistently driving cost savings, improved SLAs and client satisfaction—most recently achieving nearly $1M annual savings on a UN archives relocation. Known for blending commercial acumen with hands-on delivery, he has built and mentored teams of 60+, authored measurable SoWs and introduced digital procurement and contract systems to improve visibility over hundreds of millions in spend. John’s strength is navigating regulated and mission-critical environments where continuity, risk mitigation and stakeholder engagement are essential.
