John Joins Busker Communications

After ten years with BellSouth, John has elected to join Busker Communications as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Busker is a Norcross, GA based designer and installer of communications-enabling resources.  A more detailed description of the company and its offerings can be found at www.buskercom.com.

Busker has heretofore been run as a sole proprietorship, founded and run by its President, Bobby Busker.  Bobby recognized the need for new talent to grow the business and brought in John, challenging him to build a sales and marketing function that can exploit communications infrastructure opportunities and double their business over the next 5 – 7 years.

This is truly a win-win opportunity.  For Busker, John sees an opportunity to strengthen current product lines and services, expand the company’s offerings into synergistic areas, and build new strategic partnerships.  From a personal perspective, John is excited to learn first-hand how a small business is built and run.  Ultimately, this position is a critical step to his and Sharon’s interests in owning a company in the future.

Prior to joining Busker, John headed the national account team that represented BellSouth to the Time Warner Corporation.  Under Time Warner, his customer base primarily consisted of Turner Broadcasting, Time Warner Cable, Time Inc, HBO, and Warner Brothers.  Managing the Turner relationship consumed the bulk of John’s time and kept him challenged and growing, but BellSouth’s large corporate arena could not provide John with the opportunities for growth or the sense of ownership and impact that he longed for.
