LEADERSHIP

John Martin - President

With an honors degree in Electrical Engineering from Dublin City University, Mr. Martin came to the U.S. and joined Fidelity Investments' Telecommunications Company. During his three year stay at Fidelity, Mr. Martin distinguished himself by designing and implementing what became the largest private wide-area network in the country.

Recruited by Racal Milgo (Racal DataComm) in 1989 as a Senior Systems Engineer, Mr. Martin gained extensive experience in network design. Working with clients such as BankBoston, American Express, and Fidelity Investments, Mr. Martin quickly became an expert in the design of complex, fully-redundant networks.

In 1992, Mr. Martin joined the publishing giant Houghton Mifflin as their Telecommunications Manager. Mr. Martin was tasked with developing the design and specifications for their enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure.

Having worked in various capacities and arenas within the telecommunications and network design fields, Mr. Martin was able to see the ever increasing need for a knowledgeable and trustworthy telecommunications consultant in a rapidly changing industry and economy. In 1994, Mr. Martin's vision of how a telecommunications consultant should best serve a client and their needs, evolved into The Cavan Group – the leading, independent telecommunications consulting firm in New England.
