Biography
John Godbout grew up in Hartford, Connecticut. Although he gamely participated in organized sports every season of the year from 4th through 12th grades, John was arguably more of a mathlete, with a particular flair for joining and leading student organizations in high school.
John graduated cum laude from Georgetown University with a degree in American Government. In college, John interned in the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as for the then-powerhouse lobbying firm of Black, Manafort Stone & Kelly.
John was offered a Dean’s Merit Scholarship to study law at the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, FL. During law school, John studied abroad in Spain and was a certified legal intern at the Florida Department of Transportation, District 6, where he learned to litigate from a team of tremendously gifted and experienced attorneys in the very specialized practice of eminent domain law. After his internship ended, John stayed on at FDOT as a paralegal until he graduated and passed the Florida and then Connecticut Bar exams.
John was an associate for a Miami litigation firm specializing in aviation and transportation tort defense for several years before returning to FDOT as Assistant General Counsel (D6), and then spent a decade at a Fortune 100 insurance company where he led a team of professionals specializing in directors and officers liability claims.
John went on to lead the reorganization of a midsize, multistate law firm based in Miami with six domestic offices and a satellite location in Medellin, Colombia, and later to reimagine and rebuild a boutique law firm in Boston, MA specializing in corporate governance and business operations for entrepreneurs and early-stage companies preparing for crowdsourcing and public investment. John also served as COO and later CEO of a Canadian firm specializing in sustainable advisory services.
