About John Abrams
Business leader, speaker, and author John Abrams is dedicated to transforming business into a force for good. He co-founded South Mountain Company and served as its President for over four decades. In the late 1980s, he converted the company into a worker co-op and, in 2022, transitioned it to the next generation of leadership. Later that year, he founded Abrams+Angell with his late-in-life partner, Kim Angell, to help small businesses increase effectiveness and achieve social, environmental, and financial goals. He concentrates on guiding worker cooperative conversions.
Abrams is the author of From Founder to Future: A Business Roadmap to Impact, Longevity, and Employee Ownership, which introduces the concept of CommonWealth Companies—organizations with common ownership, profits, power, information, and purpose—and provides a detailed guide on how to build and grow them.
