{{Orphan|date=January 2016}}John Joseph Campion (born January 17, 1963) is an Irish-American entrepreneur. In 1987, he founded Showpower, Inc.,[1] a California company that provided portable generators for the Rolling Stones, U2, Kiss and AC/DC.[2] Campion currently serves as chairman and chief executive officer of APR Energy plc (LSE: APR).[3][4]

Early life

Born in Cork, Ireland, Campion was held back in primary school twice, failed secondary school exams, and did not attend college.[5] At age 21, Campion emigrated to the United States with an airline ticket and $25 in his possession.[6]

Corporate Leadership

Under the leadership of Campion, APR Energy specializes in the rapid deployment of electrical power-generating plants in areas of the world that have been struck by natural disasters or that are experiencing a shortage of energy.[7] The modular power plants are typically constructed in a few months. Campion holds several patents for this technology.[8] One such plant was assembled in 45 days following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, a task that would normally require from three to four years to complete for a permanent power plant installation.[9][10] It took APR Energy less than a month to deploy a power plant in Cyprus with the equivalent generating capacity to power approximately 120,000 American homes.[11]

Other projects have been undertaken in Uruguay, Yemen, Senegal, Argentina, Libya and Botswana, among other countries.[12][13] The company has received numerous awards for its technology.[14]

From zero revenues at its founding, APR Energy has grown to $486 million in revenues, projected for 2014. The company employs more than 150 people in Jacksonville and over 850 internationally.[15] In 2014, the company was valued at $1.2 billion.[16]

The Campion Automotive Collection

Campion assembled a stable of Lancias.[17] His collection includes seven models that have each raced in the World Rally Championship (WRC):

  • 1969 Lancia Fulvia, winner of the 1972 Daily Mirror Royal Automobile Club Rally, a predecessor of the WRC[18][19]
  • 1975 Lancia Stratos, winner of several races in the late 1970s and restored in 2011[20]
  • 1979 Fiat 131, was on the cover of Road & Track, May issue 1980[21]
  • 1980 Lancia Beta Montecarlo GR5, ran in Daytona 24 Hours in 1981 and dropped a valve on hour 14 [22]
  • 1983 Lancia 037 that took part in nearly two dozen rally races, earning several top-three finishes, including first place in a 1985 race[23]
  • 1983 Lancia LC2 chassis #001 of 7, raced at Monza and Le Mans in the 1983 and ‘84 seasons, and three races at Fuji in 1985 [24]
  • 1985 Lancia Delta S4, used as a test car for all the races that the Delta S4 was in on the World Rally Championship[25]
  • 1988 Lancia Delta Integrale that won the 1988 Portugal Rally and the 1988 Olympus/USA race[26]

His Lancia collection has been displayed at the 2015 Concours d’Elegance on Amelia Island, Florida.[27][28] Campion’s complete car collection also includes Ferraris, Alfa Romeos and Porsches.[29]

Philanthropy

Campion helped to launch Team Ireland along with the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the President of Motorsport Ireland.[30] The Team Ireland Foundation is a national program designed to support young drivers in the sports of rallying, racing and karting.[31]

Campion is involved with the University of North Florida’s Osprey SAE Student Race Team.[32] The UNF Osprey Student Racing team received financial support and mentorship from Campion in 2015 and 2016.[33] A partner of the Just a Bunch of Roadies (JABOR) global humanitarian group,[34] Campion’s work includes donating fuel, plus trucks and personnel to relief efforts in Haiti following the earthquake in 2010.[35][36] In addition to his other works, Campion serves as a board member to The Catholic University of America, providing students development support.[37]
