“I have known Jim for seven years, and in that time I have come to respect him for his leadership, both as a thought leader and team lead, for his ability to get things done, and for his communication style. Jim has a knack for, and is a tenacious leader in innovation. He is the early adopter sought out by his colleagues for insight into new systems and processes. He has an insatiable curiosity that keeps him, and those around him, on the cutting edge of technology. He is adamant that change must occur where and when necessary, but mindful that what doesn’t bring value today or tomorrow must be tempered with practicality. While Jim is a persistent and divergent thought leader, he couples that with a strong need to deliver results in everything he does. He has a tremendous work ethic. His bias toward action is infectious to those around him, leading his teams to accomplish more. His communication style is very purposeful. While some may characterize him as “quiet”, those that know Jim know that he doesn’t speak to “fill the air”. When he speaks, what he says is very impactful, and valuable. I am grateful to have met Jim, and hope that we enjoy many years as colleagues in our professional lives, as well as friends outside of work. ”
