"Has John Liviakis made a difference already? Holy mackerel, has he ... I gotta tell you something, John Liviakis is a guy I want next to me if there's a battle going on, because I know in the end we're going to wind up where we need to be. John Liviakis has a reputation of associating himself with winners. He's the type of man who is not going to align himself with a product or a company that he doesn't believe in. I believe this. If you want to become the best, learn from the best ... associate yourself with the best ... try and be around the best, because they've paid the price to be there. They've earned that right. John Liviakis, to me, is that kind of a person. He's earned the right for me to be on board with him, and for us to trust and believe in what is his vision is." Joe Thiesmann
“I have been actively involved in the energy business for nearly 30 years, as a senior executive at Texaco and now as the CEO of a development stage petroleum company focused on Asia. In all my career, I have not met anyone who is John’s equal in terms of his dedication to success, customer service, enthusiasm, good counsel, personal interest in helping his client and most of all his integrity. I look forward to a long and successful relationship with John and his first class team for many years to come!” Frank C. Ingriselli
"For the past year it has been my honor to work with John Liviakis. John came recommended by our Investment Banker and frankly his terms were unconventional. We decided nonetheless to move forward. Since that key decision, we have been impressed and rewarded way beyond our expectations. At the time of John’s engagement our company had been in a turn-around mode and severely under capitalized. Yet John has still used his amazing skills, his vast experience and his talented team, to make a real difference in keeping the market for our stock in good condition, and aiding our efforts to complete a private placement. I’m sure that we have been a challenge even for Liviakis, but he has never once waivered in his support for our firm, our vision, or our management. John is very selective in choosing his clients – he is definitely not a gun for hire. However, if you can pass his muster, he is definitely the finest cannon you can have on your side. Now that I have found him I look forward to sharing success with him now and long into the future.” Dennis Cagan
“I have worked with many financial professionals in my career, John Liviakis is the first one to “get it “! His insight into the viability of an opportunity is almost uncanny, I have enjoyed the time we have worked together and have reaped the benefits of his abilities immediately. John Liviakis is a professional in a land of amateurs “ Danny Hammett
"As an early stage Company developing some exciting new technology in the oilfield services sector, we looked to John Liviakis to help expose our company to a broad base of retail investors and brokers. While a successful oilfield service company is often owned primarily by the institutional investor group, we felt it was important to establish a retail investor base during the early days of our Company’s life as public company. Liviakis Financial Communications took information from our public SEC filings and used that information to describe our business opportunity to potential investors which allowed them to better understand the technology, the management team and the market opportunity. John took a personal interest in the Company and definitely helped create a good trading market for our stock at a time when the company was still in its infancy. For any new public company looking to increase its market exposure, particularly in the retail sector, I would recommend Liviakis Financial Communications as there are few firms that work as hard at getting a Company’s story in front of the right audience." J. Chris Boswell
"In our experience over a four-year period, we have consistently found the Liviakis Communications organization to be comprised of motivated, focused, effective people whom desire to provide excellent service to the firm's clients and customers. Frankly, our expectations are usually exceeded by the Liviakis team. They are an impressive, hard-working group of professionals." Eric McAfee
"John Liviakis is a Gem of a Man and a Giant
in the world of Investor Relations. Mary M. Losty
"Change is a constant that is historical and predictable. Investing in today's dynamic market requires many skills. Having the numbers is only the beginning of the road. Applying intelligence with instinct is a war game well played by John Liviakis. His talent for communication is unmatched by anyone in the business along with an uncanny ability to size up management, product potential,and a balance sheet. This amalgam of market know-how and experience creates a powerful platform for decision and profitability." Anthony J. Gullo
"John Liviakis is the Godfather of telemarketing communications to stockbrokers and institutional investors. John invented the business. Over the years, John and I have been friends and business associates. I have not known any man in the securities business who works harder, or who is more dedicated to his business than is John. John’s record for his clients speaks for itself." D. Paul Cohen
"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with John for the last three years. He is one of the hardest working, intelligent and ethical persons with whom I have worked. I consider him an important part of my professional life." Paul Coviello
"During my 25 year career that has included working on Wall Street in Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs, venture capital investing and my current Merchant Bank/VC Firm, I have seen many investor relations firms. I believe Liviakis Financial Communications is the best. Our business model of taking the most compelling young companies public is profoundly enhanced by Liviakis Financial bringing the financial markets presence and expertise that would be an otherwise missing link to success." Laird Cagan
"John Liviakis is undoubtedly one of the most dedicated investor relations professionals in the country. It is not often that you find such a disciplined, meticulous and goal-oriented individual who works tirelessly for their clients. John’s loyalty and passion surpasses that of anyone I know. My husband, Brad Dunlap, and I have had the pleasure of working with and for John over the last several years and I can say unequivocally he is an outstanding example of a human being. John’s passion and knowledge of Wall Street clearly makes him the “best” in the business." Susan Dunlap
"Liviakis Financial Communication is a team of individuals, all having an intense passion and understanding of the financial markets. Their strong work ethic and vast contacts create a highly successful environment." Brad C. Dunlap
"I have known and worked with John Liviakis during my career as a senior Vice President managing the assets of the highest net-worth clients of both Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. Currently, I am actively working with John while managing my own private fund/merchant bank. Over the past fifteen years I have developed a genuine friendship and respect for his work ethic and commitment to excellence. No one works harder than John. His reputation as a leading investor relations firm is definitely well deserved." Michael Peterson
"I have been raising equity and consulting to companies both public and private allowing them to open a pathway to all capital markets. Through twenty-plus years in the equity business I would say I have met more unsavory, self-serving opportunistic, predatory individuals whose sole intent was to enrich themselves at the expense of the companies they were raising equity for. I have known John Liviakis for ten years now and he is one of the few honest, hardworking, standup White Knights I have had the pleasure to be associated with. I have watched John over the years become extremely successful while building the number one microcap investor relations firm in the United States." Keith A. Mazer
"In my 25 years of business experience, Liviakis Financial is the hardest working group of people I have come across. Their dedication, focus and work ethic certainly set them apart from other firms associated with the stock market, where "bankers hours" can seem to be the norm." Steve Adams
"Liviakis Financial Communication, Inc. gives new meaning to the terms honesty, integrity and dedication. Wall Street is fortunate to have John and his team championing the small cap arena." Len Panzer
"We have had the pleasure of working with the Liviakis group after their restructuring and have found them as dedicated and professional as we are sure they were before. Although he is very selective with whom he will work, when he takes on a client, he then gets involved on all fronts. I have never had anyone that has spent so much time understanding our story and strategy and conveying the message as well as John. He is always upbeat, even in the face of issues and offers insight and strategic thinking around such matters. His support and efforts have played a great deal in adding value to not only our stock, but also the company as a whole. His group is one of hardest working, dedicated firms with which we have had the pleasure of working. He brings success to all those to which he embraces his intelligence and passion." Peter Gombrich
"I've dealt with all types of people in the securities industry. You kind of develop a perception of what the person is going to be. When I met John, he just totally shocked me. This is a genuine, down-to-earth, hardworking, conscientious fellow. There is nothing flippant about him. There is nothing shady about him." Worth Magazine |
