John Elsden
Consultant
JOHN STARTED HIS CAREER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS A DEVELOPER, BEFORE MOVING INTO MANAGEMENT, BECOMING A MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR A TRAFALGAR HOUSE GROUP COMPANY.
Following a hostile merger of THG in 1992, John started his own business, Allied Powers. His aim was to advise small tech companies about business strategy as many lacked a business minded person.
John was a member of the GX’s Board between 2004 and 2022, playing an integral role to developing the company, transforming it from three separate businesses into one single group with an international reach.
