John T. Childress
John T. Childress is an experienced business leader
who
has excelled at both starting
businesses and
working within
existing businesses to help them
grow.
He holds a
Bachelor of Science in Finance from
Rutgers
University School of Business.
John
began his career at age 20 by joining the
Domino’s Pizza management training program.
After being promoted to
General Manager, he built up his store sales to rank among
the highest in per capita sales. As a result of this achievement, he soon built
and owned his own store and in the process became one of the first African American
Franchisees in the 4,000 store chain. His store consistently ranked at the top of
sales in his region in Long Island.
After selling the store, John became a Finance
Manager at Temple University. Here he also managed the Office of Community Service
and coordinated
several community service projects including a holiday celebration
where Temple hosted over 500 children from families facing challenging circumstances.
This led to him becoming Director of Health & Safety Services at the American
Red Cross. Here John not only increased revenue from $1.7M to over $3M in just two
years, but he helped launch programs that saved lives.
John was later recruited
by Edison Schools to take over management of the finances of their 20 Philadelphia
schools. In 2002, John established his own business management consulting firm,
Childress Business Consulting, which has helped many small businesses and non-profits
increase their revenue and manage their business.
In late 2005 John was selected
to serve as Executive Director of the African
American Chamber of Commerce in Philadelphia.
He helped increase membership by creating a new strategic vision for the Chamber.
But he is most proud of starting an entrepreneur training program there to assist
people starting their own business. John also is an elected member of the East Greenwich
School Board and serves on many city and regional committees.
