David Goggin
Partner and Head of BTS East
I had the privilege of working alongside John for 14 years at MetLife and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He consistently brought exceptional leadership, sharp critical thinking, and powerful facilitation skills to every initiative. One standout moment was his role in designing and delivering the Leadership Transformation Initiative at LLS—an innovative program that significantly elevated leader effectiveness and productivity. John’s technical skill is matched by his warmth, professionalism, and integrity. I highly recommend his work through Peregrine Talent Development.
