It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Jim.
He is an extremely capable and dedicated High-Level professional. Jim has strong analytical and communication skills which are further enhanced by his solid technical background and his enthusiasm for learning.
I had the pleasure of working with Jim on many major marketing projects in support of customer facing and b-2-b portals. Jim provided in-depth analysis of the business requirements and organized and chaired meetings with stakeholders to refine the goals. Jim's detailed, yet pragmatic approach, ensured the specifications were met while keeping these projects on schedule with minimal rework. He was very articulate explaining complex technical issues and functional capabilities.
Along with his undeniable talent, Jim has always been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a true team player, and always manages to foster positive discussions that bring the best out of other stakeholders.
Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Jim.Interests, Passions, and Curiosity
Lead with your passion
My Philosphy
Passion, Focus, and Accountability. In that order. For much of my professional career I've followed and focused my teams on these core values. Passion drives us to perform. It's what gets us up in the morning and drives a sense of urgency in everything you do. Focus allows us to stay on task and prioritize those things that are most important in moving the business forward. Identifying those projects and choices that yield the biggest net gain for the business is key to focus. Accountability in everything we do. We deliver for our family and our team.
Curiosity
The key to an ageless mind is an insatiable curiosity. The quest for new information, new ideas, new concepts keeps me going all the time. Whether it's new technology, new ways to motivate, or improving on process, I'm always looking for what else is out there.
Interests
Good food, good drink, and good friends. Down time is important part of life and allows us to recharge and reprioritize. I enjoy running for both body and spirit. Technology for the mind. Cooking for the soul.
