John Mlinarcik is Shamrock Company’s talented Chief Financial Officer: “a tremendous resource,” “a very smart young man,” “helpful,” and “willing to teach people.” These are just some of the ways people who know him best describe John and his impact on Shamrock in just a few short years. 

We’re proud to announce that John has been honored with our new Steve McGue Leadership Award!


“John was my first hire in Shamrock Company,” President and CEO Dan McGue shares. “And when I hired John, I got something way more than an accountant. Within his first 30 days, [he] changed our business.”

In 2023, Shamrock made its first large-scale acquisition under new leadership. Dan gives John credit for the success of that important transaction.

“Dan chose right … John is the best [at] what he does.”

– Rustum Sayyed, Regional VP

At Shamrock, we believe big achievements deserve significant attention!
