John Exley
John Exley is Chief Executive Officer and Partner of Acorn Management Partners, a professional relations company that builds shareholder bases through financial professionals. When starting AMP, John realized the inability of most IR companies to execute their duties mainly because of the basic lack of understanding of the financial markets and the seemingly disregard of the current shareholder base. As the only company that has built a platform designed to replace lost retail support, AMP increases a client’s market awareness while decreasing liabilities. He put together a team of professionals with extensive market knowledge and contacts around the world that clearly understand the goal of building a public market. John has been in the financial services industry for the last 25 years, during which he was the owner of multiple OSJs for different regional broker-dealers.
