I operate. I build. I advise. In whatever language and market the job actually requires.
John Cobb
I run two things. ROI Wire chases contingency outbound for recovery, audit, tax credit, compliance, and specialty finance firms, paid on results, not activity. Coppermont is strategic advisory and primary-source intelligence for investors and operators across Latin America and Lusophone Africa.
The brands attract different clients. The same infrastructure powers both things.
I also built Chinaski, a self-hosted Perl CMS that publishes flat HTML, because I got tired of WordPress fighting me instead of working for me. It exists so operators keep control of their content, themes, and deploys. No SaaS lock in. Perl is cool, too.
I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Translators aren't for me. I learn whatever language the job requires. Seriously. I've studied Telugu, Changana1, and Eastern Huastecan Nahuatl in the past.
The views expressed on this site are my own and not necessarily those of ROI Wire, Coppermont, or any of my clients.
If you're on the fence about reaching out, I think you should. You can book 15 minutes or send me a message. Looking forward to getting to know you.
1Changana is spoken in Mozambique and doesn't have clicks. Tsonga is spoken in South Africa and has clicks. I can't do click sounds well. Yet.
