John Foster Bio
John received his BS in Chemical Engineering and MBA from LSU and spent thirty-plus years in industry. Along the way, he volunteered for Junior Achievement and through these classroom experiences, developed the Middle School MBA curriculum.
His industrial career failed its way through process engineering, plant operations, business management, M&A, and corporate strategy; finally failing big enough to exit.
