Carew International is saddened to share the passing of our founder, John H. “Jack” Carew, at the age of 89.
Jack and his wife, Barbara, founded Carew International while raising their young family. Together, they built the foundation for what would become an internationally recognized sales and leadership training organization serving companies and professionals around the world.
Throughout his career, Jack was a respected speaker, author, and advocate for the sales profession. He believed that selling, when grounded in integrity, service, and a genuine desire to help others succeed, was an honorable and meaningful calling. His work influenced generations of sales professionals, leaders, clients, and facilitators.
Jack was known for his enthusiasm, curiosity, and ability to connect with people. His contributions remain an important part of Carew International’s history and legacy.
We extend our sincere condolences to his wife of 66 years, Barbara, their children and grandchildren, and all those who knew, worked with, and learned from him.
