Meet John Ratliff
John is a co-founder and partner of align5 and is responsible for leading all of the firm’s strategic initiatives. Prior to founding align5, John was the President and CEO of Appletree Answers, a telephone answering service company he started in 1995 from his two-bedroom apartment in Wilmington, Delaware. John grew the company organically and through a series of acquisitions to 24 US- based locations and 650 employees before it was sold to a strategic buyer in June 2012.
John is passionate about strategy, company culture and employee engagement. Along those lines, John leveraged the methodologies of the “Rockefeller Habits” to implement several strategic initiatives at Appletree (such as the Dream On program), which resulted in industry low turnover of about 18%, (compared to the industry average of 110%). John credits the implementation of these strategic initiatives with the tremendous growth in revenue and EBITDA over a roughly 4-year period, which ultimately led to the successful sale of the company.
John is a highly sought-after speaker to entrepreneurs and companies of all sizes on topics such as company culture, employee engagement, business strategy and acquisitions. John also brings expertise in designing and implementing business operating processes and systems to maximize the effectiveness of a company’s management team.

Testimonials
Mac Harman
Founder, Balsam Brands
The thing that has really set John and align5 apart from other coaching groups we considered is that they've scaled up businesses, they understand what it's like to be in the trenches. When you have someone who's thoughtful, experienced, and speaks with humility, it's amazing.
Wesley Sierk
President, Risk Management Advisors
Because of John and our discussion of Rembrandts in the Attic, the offer we got was 10.2x EBITDA. I didn't hire his company—this was just him being a generous, giving soul. A good, decent human being. A good businessman. And those aren't easy to find in combination in this world.
Arnie Malham
Founder, Legal Intake Professionals
For me, working with John, it was all about the conversation, and all about encouragement when I didn't quite see where we were headed. It was the first business I had ever sold, and John was just great at understanding the bigger picture and helping me through it.
