About
Introducing the Insightful Growth Strategies Founder, John Dathan

A life long learner with a passion for results, he wants to help clients with an area that was a frustration during his career. Even with his passion for working ‘on the business’, it was always difficult because working ‘in the business’ would take over. His desire is to find people just like himself and partner with leaders to both build and execute on plans that will significantly grow the business.

Having been in the IT sector for over 40 years, John decided he really wanted to take his passion for growth and help people just like him. After growing up in the early PC days, to networking, dot-com, e-commerce, through to AI and Machine learning, he has been a leader in the Canadian IT space.

Professional Highlights
John has lead the Canadian operations of Fortune 500 companies including divisions of Nortel Networks, Juniper Networks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and most recently as the SVP and GM of Insight Canada. Under his leadership at Insight, the team doubled the business to gross revenues greater than $850M and became the 3rd largest IT Solutions provider in Canada.

Personal Highlights
Married with three adult children, he has the ability to be anywhere and not just where his home is in Ottawa, Canada. When not working, John enjoys being with his wife Joanne and their three kids, playing golf or guitar, and seeing his grandkids whenever he can.
