Our Founder
John Pike
John Pike is the visionary behind Perissos Partners. With a career that spans global leadership, executive assessment, and development, John has consistently delivered excellence, driving impact at scale for major organizations and leaders around the world.
John's personal life fuels his passion for leadership and life’s abundance. Living with cystic fibrosis has profoundly shaped his perspective. Having a life-shortening disease has instilled in him a deep commitment to seize every day and to help others do the same. With seven children and 15 years of marriage, John resides in Eden Prairie, MN, where he actively serves on the board of the EP Hockey Association.
Perissos Partners embodies John’s vision to help leaders and organizations unleash their potential, experience life more abundantly, and achieve excellence through self-awareness, alignment with purposeful roles, and ongoing development.
