# Why do people love working with John?

I have worked with John on many very successful projects. He is well organized and very articulate when working on ideas for business growth. I have a high level of trust and confidence when working with him.

###### John Hall

President, EVP, Chief Merchandising Officer, Finish Line / JD Sports

During his time at Vida Shoes International, John led a team of 12 across 5 brands as Director, then Vice President. With his P&L responsibility, John was involved in every area of our Children’s Division, including Product Development, Digital, Marketing, Sales, Finance/Planning, and Merchandising. Under his steady leadership, our revenue and profit from these brands grew impressively every year.

###### Brian McManus

EVP / General Manager Vida Shoes International

As our Executive Advisor, John has helped us raise capital, led forecasting and financial planning, helped with marketing and website development, and introduced us to major footwear retailers, helping us gain instant market share with major retailers in our first two years in business.

###### Rommel Vega

Founder and CEO, HOLO Footwear

I asked John in 2021 to help us take Sneaker Impact from a concept to a brand. With John’s leadership and guidance, today Sneaker Impact is a global brand, working with major companies like Rack Room Shoes, Saucony, Champion, Big 5, YMCA, Orange Theory and others, increasing sneaker circularity and keeping footwear out of landfills.

###### Moe Hachem

Founder and CEO, Sneaker Impact

John consults for us on the back end on business strategy and consults on the front end with our clinicians, helping them determine how we can partner and coach them in scaling their practices profitably, improving quality of life and achieving better patient outcomes.

###### Danny Matta

Founder, Physical Therapy Biz, an Inc. 5000 company

I brought John on in December of 2020 to help us build out and execute our footwear strategy. Over the next 20 months, John developed systems and processes that we implemented to build a strong foundation for growth. John's expertise in brand building touched all areas of our business including sales strategy and distribution, product development, marketing, merchandising, profitability, eCommerce and talent acquisition. John's optimism, confidence and passion for the business is contagious. I recommend him without hesitation.

# About 360

John Licata is a seasoned leader with over 30 years of executive experience in the footwear and business consulting space, leading brands and large, diverse teams. John has worked closely with big retailers like Nordstrom, Amazon, REI, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart, as well as with hundreds of independent retailers and business owners. He has worked at an executive level for household brands such as Stride Rite, Saucony, Sperry, and Naturalizer. As a subject expert in kid’s footwear, John has launched nearly a dozen kid’s footwear brands to the market and most recently led the repositioning and turnaround of the Stride Rite brand globally.

“During a meeting early in my career, while working on the Stride Rite brand, the president of a prominent department store chain operating a preeminent children’s footwear business asked us, ‘Does anyone make money in the kid’s shoe business?’ I knew then that the kid’s segment was the most challenging and takes a special set of skills, know-how, and experience to deliver on revenue and profit growth.”

Since 2020, John is helping footwear brands raise capital, increase distribution, revenue, profitability and brand awareness, while coaching entrepreneurial business owners on how to scale and grow their teams. John has real world experience and can help make a difference in your business, achieving your goals, and collapsing time.
