Meet John Lowe
John Lowe is the author of Still Becoming and a 30-year supply chain and operations leader whose career has been spent inside the four walls of distribution centers. He has led operational excellence, continuous improvement, Lean Six Sigma work, systems implementations, automation programs, large-scale projects, and teams ranging from single departments to national distribution networks.
His perspective was shaped by a small-town foundation in Hoopeston, Illinois, a career built through hard transitions, the leadership lessons that came from job loss, and the loss of his wife Lorie in 2023. The book and tools come from what John has had to practice himself: ownership, empowerment, stabilization, reinvention, and the discipline of continuing to learn. He is also dad to Aubrey, 29, and Ashley, 22, which keeps this work grounded in family, legacy, and what it means to keep becoming after loss.
At 55, John is still becoming. He is building AI-enabled automations, iOS apps, agentic workflows, a daily AI newsletter, and YouTube content that helps experienced professionals treat AI as a strategic partner instead of a threat.
