“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 |
“John Liviakis is a Gem of a Man and a Giant in the world of Investor Relations. Liviakis Financial embodies all of the old-fashioned virtues that made America great... integrity, intelligence, hard work, dedication, honesty, patience, relentless attention to detail, and steadfastness in the face of obstacles. I am very pleased to be a friend of John Liviakis and his entire organization.” Mary M. Losty |
“As a public company, you can have the most compelling plan, but if you don’t have anyone to tell it to, you are like a tree that falls in the forest when no one is around. Through its deep experience, broad market knowledge and unwavering support, Liviakis Financial helped us reach that investor audience. John Liviakis and his team possess a range of talents that are simply invaluable to any young, publicly-traded company. They helped us implement an effective investor relations program with a dedication unmatched in the industry, making them more of a partner to the company than simply a vendor. But, what matters to me most is that Liviakis Financial exceeded my high expectations because they did exactly what they said they were going to do, regardless of any obstacles that might have been in the way. You don’t get excuses with Liviakis Financial, you get results.” Jonathan Snyder |
“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 |
“Procera Networks has retained Liviakis Financial for the past two years as its investor relations firm, and John Liviakis and his staff have used their extensive investment experience, skill and contacts to help us as we worked through the company’s development stage. They also provided excellent council and support as we acquired Netintact of Varberg Sweden. As a result of these moves the company now has industry leading products in network analysis and control, with strong customer references, and is positioned for very strong growth. John and his team continue to be very supportive of the objectives of the company and do a marvelous job of communicating our story to the investment community in a positive, timely and accurate manner. ” Doug Glader |
“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 |
“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 |

“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 |
“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 |
“ChromaDex being a publicly traded company - ticker CDXC - I mean we get noticed by investing in an investor relations campaign, and we’ve got what we believe is the best out there in Liviakis Financial Communications and John Liviakis is the principal of the company. And we’re very happy with that. We rely pretty heavily on investor relations to provide the support we need to get the word out. Even though we do the best job that we possibly can in getting the name out to our customers, we have to rely on our partners - like Liviakis to drive our name into the other market that we have to pay attention to which is the stock market. That’s an added benefit that we actually have. John is very passionate about the natural products and the health products field. That was just coincidental, but ultimately it added a lot of value because he does understand our message.” Frank Jaksch |
"I wanted to take the time to recognize the efforts of Liviakis Financial and the Investor Relations expertise they provide. John's team does an excellent job of not only communicating public facts but also providing insight and a genuine confidence in the company and investment theme. I am a shareholder of Chromadex as well as many other individual equities. I actively contact IR departments and receive typical responses that seem very transactional on the part of the IR contact. In the case of Chromadex, and Liviakis Financial, not only is the contact proactive on their part, but it is much more personal and engaging, and provides shareholders with realistic optimism in present and future corporate developments. As a client of his, I am sure you are already aware of these benefits, but I wanted to take the time to remind you from the point of view of a shareholder." Kenneth Park |
