Founder

John H. Boyd is the founder and president of The Boyd Company, Inc. One of the most experienced and trusted business leaders in his field, Mr. Boyd helps shape the direction of new corporate investment in the U.S. and around the globe.

An economist by training, Boyd's corporate site selection experience traces back to his academic research work in Puerto Rico.  Boyd's research, entitled U.S. Manufacturing Investment in Puerto Rico: A Response to Operation Bootstrap, studied the Island's commonwealth political status and tax structure and why U.S. manufacturers were locating there.  As a Bevier Fellow in Economics at the Rutgers Graduate School, Mr. Boyd expanded his research in the field of corporate mobility.  After a tenure as a facilities location analyst with the Management Consulting Division of Dun & Bradstreet in New York in the early 1970's, Mr. Boyd established his own location practice in Princeton, NJ, in 1975. More than 30 years later, Boyd remains dedicated to positioning his firm's clients ahead of prevailing site selection and economic trends.

Mr. Boyd's proprietary insights into emerging corporate location and investment trends have made him an authoritative source for industry analysts and business editors nationwide covering corporate mobility and the economy.  His views are frequently cited in such publications as BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Fortune Magazine, USA TODAY, Canada's Globe and Mail, The Washington Post, and many others.

Over the years, Mr. Boyd has been looked to for counsel at many economic forums, including the U.S. Senate, the World Bank, Canada's Privy Counsel, economic planning organizations of foreign governments, and numerous symposiums and hearings on the subject of corporate relocation and business climate legislation.
