Founder & CEO
John Careri
John Careri is a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and executive with over 25 years of leadership in building and scaling high-growth enterprises. He began his career in the building materials sector, identifying a critical market opportunity to revolutionize how doors were manufactured, distributed, and serviced. As the founder and CEO of Tru Tech Doors, John built the company from the ground up, scaling it into an industry-leading manufacturing powerhouse across North America.
Throughout his career, John has established a reputation for operational excellence, rigorous analytical precision, and an unwavering focus on customer experience. His hands-on leadership style and deep commitment to corporate culture transformed Tru Tech into a benchmark for industrial innovation and a trusted B2B partner. Following a highly successful tenure, John navigated the company through a strategic acquisition by a prominent industry peer — a landmark exit that validated the enterprise's robust market position and enduring brand loyalty.
Today, as CEO of Jonvic, John leverages his extensive operational insight and growth mindset to partner with high-potential brands, businesses, and real-estate developments. Operating at the intersection of infrastructure, technical manufacturing, and premium athletic brand architecture, John focuses on investing in people and scaling legacies to unlock transformative, long-term value.
