John Moore
PRESIDENT & CEO
John is the beating heart of iSTORM and living proof that like attracts like. After 20 years in the industry - 16 as the President and CEO of iSTORM NEW Media and inSITE Communications - John is undisputably one of the top minds in his field. It’s this reputation (combined with the fact he is probably the friendliest guy on the planet) that’s made it easy for him to attract a team of like-minded visionaries to work by his side.
When he’s not busy charming the socks off everyone, John can be found revolutionizing the world of web marketing and development with his innovative genius. John’s spent over 18 years specializing in marketing, online business solutions, website design, search engine optimization and custom application development. The last 12 of those years have been spent focusing on helping clients grow and maintain their online businesses, with both a local and international focus. In fact, John is the mastermind behind the development of the web repositioning for Canada Post “Collections” magazine. He is also the architect and developer for a java server based classified ad engine for London Free Press and Sun Publishing Group .
Other notable achievements include creating a site membership web database with over one million customer registrations, acting as the Chief Architect and Developer for an automated marketing expert system, and development of a product addition to the OTMP interim website. Don’t let his relentless pursuit of excellence fool you - as long as you don’t write him an email in Times New Roman, John is super easy-going. He’s the sort of guy you’d give a vital organ to after only meeting a couple of times. OK, maybe not your heart, but a kidney, some skin, or part of your liver.
Sam Khan
Vice President of Operations & Business Development
This is the guy the double-guns were made for. With 15 years experience expertly managing massive web development initiatives and programs, Sam Khan is the king of cool, confidence and collaboration. He lives for a good strategy session and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Ever. And we mean ever.
His moxy has earned him accolades for his work with the Government of Canada, notably Environment Canada, DFAIT, Industry Canada, Canadian Heritage, the Treasury Board of Canada and PWGSC. He has also spent 3 years as an EiR (Entrepreneur in Residence) for Invest Ottawa and Launch Lab. From online marketing, business strategy and analysis, operations, finance, project management and sales, this guy can and will do it all. Except write grammatically sound correspondence. Seriously. It makes his third grade teacher cry. Just don’t judge him for it. Even Superman had a weakness.
