I am John Cousins, and I am proud to have had a diverse and accomplished career in multiple fields. My journey began with an electronics degree from MIT, which laid the groundwork for my technical expertise and provided the foundation I needed to succeed. From there, I went on to earn a BA from Boston University and an MBA degree from Wharton, which equipped me with the business knowledge and skills I would need throughout my career. This executive MBA program proved so beneficial in navigating complex business challenges.

I got my start in biotech, where I was fortunate enough to become the CEO of a company developing innovative cancer diagnostics. This role marked the beginning of my success in the corporate world, as I also served as the CFO of several public companies for about 15 years, during which time I took two companies public.

In addition to my corporate accomplishments, I have also been able to share my expertise and passion for business with others through writing and teaching. I have written several best-selling books on business topics, including "Patent It Yourself!", "Negotiation Communication Nation", "Reading and Understanding Financial Statements", and "MBA ASAP". I also founded MBA ASAP, an online business education community that offers affordable online MBA courses.

Throughout my journey, I have observed that upskilling alongside work is very difficult and expensive for many people. It inspired me to bring the idea of distance learning MBA solutions to life. I decided to help such students by offering online MBA degree courses, online graduate programs, and MBA initiatives. I came up with the concept of online Executive MBA, which ditched the traditional classroom learning and hefty amount of fees.  

For the past decade, I have been honored to share my experience and practical MBA business management skills with students as a business teacher at universities and colleges.
