In two decades in venture capital and investment banking, John Hoffmire developed a specialty in employee stock ownership. From that vantage point, he observed the interplay between worker wealth and business growth. Now Hoffmire is committed to apply those lessons on low-wage employees at businesses in Wisconsin and beyond. As director of the new Center on Business and Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Hoffmire is on a mission to study and demonstrate how employers and their low-wage workers can prosper together when workers make the most of the benefits they’re offered.
