Entrepreneur / Investor

John Cummins is an entrepreneur and investor based in Pennsylvania. Originally from Dublin, John founded his own technical services firm, NEXA, in 2015 and expanded into the US the following year.

After six successful years of growth between Ireland and the US, NEXA was acquiredby NASDAQ-listed Transcat, and John became Vice President of the parent company.
