John A. Lanier Email & Phone Number

John A. Lanier is a Chief Executive Officer at Middle Market Methods based in Atlanta Metropolitan Area, United States, North America. “Bringing John Lanier in to facilitate our first full strategic planning session under private equity ownership has been a key reason for our success. John brings to bear a wealth of knowledge and experience to companies like ours to help them reach their potential by optimizing their strategic focus and organizational design. As we implemented the plan, we knew we could lean on John for coaching and receive feedback the same as if he were in our shoes.” CEO John’s value-creation toolbox provides growth, productivity, and cultural solutions has benefited more than 170 portfolio companies for over 65 private equity firms and includes more than 500 deliverables. The Middle Market Methods (“M3”) value-creation elevator speech is thus encapsulated: engage client leadership teams with a road-tested model to rationalize value-creation priorities, formulate implementation plans, execute with the inertia of a thundering herd of bison, celebrate success, then launch the next round of prioritized initiatives. John’s clients endearingly tease him as a "process nerd and resultant." John is a disciplined critical thinker, root cause sleuth, data-driven decision maker, collaborative leader, and change-agent. M3’s primary target market is middle market private equity portfolio companies whose initial recap EBITDA is $5-25 million. John complemented his MBA with a Doctor of Strategic Leadership to enhance his value-creating credentials—an endeavor which led to authoring Value Creation in Middle Market Private Equity, available on Amazon. He became a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt at GE Capital. Personal passions include family adventures, rescue dogs, college football (Go Dawgs!!!), eclectic musical genres, and perpetual learning (he posts recommended business topics on his website).
