It’s no secret that a company’s success is determined by many factors, one of the most important being great leadership.

As CEO of TM Floyd & Company (TMF), John Starmack’s strategic and approachable leadership has fostered an environment of collaboration and shared goals at TMF as he guides the company.

Recently, Starmack was recognized for his efforts as he received not one, but two accolades for his company leadership as he steers the TMF helm.

In December 2025, SCBIZ named Starmack as one of the 500 Influential Leaders in South Carolina. This inaugural list of business leaders recognizes leaders across all industries throughout the state for their innovative leadership and positive impact on the state’s community. Starmack was listed in the Professional Services and Consulting category.

“Leadership is all about the people. If you take care of your employees, clients, and partners, the tasks and deadlines will take care of themselves,” says Starmack.

Then in January 2026, Columbia Business Monthly published its list of the 2025 50 Most Influential People, recognizing Starmack as a leader who has made a “significant impact” in The Midlands.

Said Columbia Business Monthly, “As CEO, he [Starmack] has led the company on an unprecedented growth journey in terms of new clients, client longevity, community involvement, recognition, and teamwork.”

Starmack highly credits the TMF team for these honors, as he continues to be an innovator and lead TMF’s initiatives and commitment to South Carolina—bringing IT professionals to live and work in South Carolina and providing IT consulting services to help companies across the country succeed.
