John Schoon

John Schoon is an account executive working with Chicago Communications customers in public safety and municipalities. He has been providing communications solutions in public safety since 2006 and joined our team as part of our merger with Miner Electronics in 2021.

Prior to his career in communications technology, John was an account executive in another fast-paced environment with evolving communications technology — the newspaper business.

One of the things John loves about his job is meeting face-to-face with customers, listening to them, understanding their needs, and being able to help meet them. He also deeply appreciates being able to help police and firefighters be safe in the course of their work. While every project has its own rewards, John points to interoperability as an area of technology that he's been very interested in. "The ability for both police and fire departments to work with different communities and assist each other is key," he says.
