My name is John Boudreau. I am the co-founder and COO of Astonish Results.

After graduating from Gordon College in 1992 with a degree in chemistry, I began my career as an environmental analytical chemist and eventually became a laboratory director. This position involved solving complex, multivariate analytical problems and providing analytical services to wide variety of environmental engineering firms.

In addition to a deep interest in science, I’ve always loved business consulting and especially real estate investing. In 1995, I started investing in real estate, both commercial and residential. By 2004 I was able to generate enough cash flow and leave my position as laboratory director.

This gave me extra time to begin my next venture, Ion Marketing Group, a digital marketing company focused on the real estate industry. Ion created a custom database that utilized the data feed from Rhode Island’s multiple listing service. This allowed real estate agencies to serveup property data on their websites and win more customers. After a years time, Ion had 90% of the largest brokerages in Rhode Island as clients. You can check out one of the sites which is still live 7 years later – www.prudentialgammonsrealty.com .

In 2006, I sold Ion and founded Astonish Results with Adam DeGraide, Dave Simas and Timothy Sawyer. As COO of Astonish Results my role involves oversight of the overall health of the business; which includes sales and marketing, finance, digital marketing, engineering and client services.

In September of 2011, Astonish partnered with a private equity firm, Serent Capital.

Astonish Results is a digital marketing, training and consulting company focused on helping Independent Insurance Agencies FIND, SELL and KEEP more customers.

I am married to Jodi and father to three beautiful children, Daphne, Grey and Owen.

Have a question for me concerning digital marketing, SEO, SEM, social media, email marketing, software development or business consulting?
