Meet the team:

John Exley: CEO

John R Exley III has been in the financial industry for the last 16 years. During that time, Mr. Exley was the owner of multiple OSJ's for different regional Broker Dealers. As a registered Representative, he was responsible for training the sales force and he was the number one producing representative out of 690 Brokers for 9 out of the last 11 years. When starting Acorn Management Partners, he realized the inability of most Investor Relations Companies to execute their duties mainly because of the basic lack of understanding the Financial Markets (Global, Institutional, Broker Dealers and Registered Reps) and the seemingly disregard of the current shareholder base. Mr. Exley put together a team of professionals with extensive market knowledge and contacts around the world that clearly understand the goal of investor relations and how to achieve that goal. Mr. Exley attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
