John Radostits is a third-generation Edmonton business leader and Senior Advisor at Diplomat Consulting, specializing in governance, scale-up strategy, and fast-growth execution. As President of The Radco Group, a private equity and family enterprise platform, he has spent over three decades building and transforming companies across retail, energy, real estate, and consumer sectors, earning a reputation as a disciplined dealmaker who unlocks growth in mid-market companies through a syndicated partnership model.

His experience spans C-suite and "shadow CFO" mandates to board-level governance, including service as a Board Member at Westleaf Inc. and numerous family businesses and startups, where he has guided organizations through restructuring, market volatility, and periods of rapid expansion. A graduate of the ICD.D (Institute of Corporate Directors), John brings hands-on operating discipline to the boardroom, stepping into complex situations to stabilize operations and reposition companies for long-term performance.

Beyond his advisory work, he is a dedicated community builder, serving as Chairman of the Board for Junior Achievement of Northern Alberta & NWT, Chair of The Friends of the CFR (Canadian Finals Rodeo), founding chair of Friends of the Base, a member of Strathcona's civilian advisory group, and an active member of YPO Alberta — reflecting the same connector's instinct and commitment to execution that define his approach to advising Diplomat's clients.
