Our guest for the February 20th edition of PlayMakers Talk Show: John Christian, CEO, Delivery Limited

John Christian is the CEO of Delivery Limited. His entire career and his whole approach to leadership is rooted in a lifetime of hard work, resilience, and the values he learned growing up in Chicago.

He was raised in a lower middle class, blue collar household that taught him the importance of showing up, doing the work, and treating people with respect.

His father spent 50 years with the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, and his mother dedicated herself to raising their family. Their commitment and integrity shaped who John is, and those same principles guide the way he leads today.

At Delivery Limited, John focuses on strengthening their reputation for reliability, innovation, and truly listening to his customers. Everything they do is built on service, something he learned long before he ever stepped into a leadership role.
