John Turner

BACKGROUND

In 1997, John founded Flannel, a brand and design consulting company. Harvard University would become his first client. Many recognizable companies such as Blizzard, Nordica, Rollerblade, and King Arthur’s Flour turned to him for his help in rebranding their businesses. He has worked with Tuck School of Business for 13 years, crafting their branding, design, and website. For a year and a half, he pursued his love for hockey by goaltending for minor league teams across the country (his longest tenure was with the Elmira Jackals). In more ways than one, John Turner represents the spirit of NEIA: kindness, enthusiasm, entrepreneurship, and a fearless pursuit of his passions.
