John Mathieu
Managing Partner
After graduating on top of his class at Bentley University, John Mathieu took a surprising leap into IT, embarking on an intensive year-long RPG coding program, paving the way for a career in software development.
Soon, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to work independently, taking on Y2K projects for Boston's State Street Bank. His mastery of RPG code, vital to JD Edwards' tools, positioned him at the heart of AFC Cable's pioneering JD Edward Implementation in New England. Spotting a niche, John assembled and trained a project implementation team, laying the groundwork for what would become Allari.
Silicon Valley took notice, especially Wintec Industries, where John transformed a struggling JD Edwards initiative. His path then converged with Ravi's at Westcon in New York in 2000, marking a turning point in Allari's journey. With John at the helm, Allari has grown from a solo venture to a global force across 11 countries, supporting customers in over 35. Driven by customer-centric values, John's leadership epitomizes Allari's mission: unparalleled solutions for Allari’s customers with a heartfelt approach.
