I reported to Jim within Microsoft's Retail Technology Group. Jim is a great manager, really cares about his team, the Business and company as a whole. Great insight and work ethics. I would work for Jim again in a second.
-Phoenix Rudner - Sr. Solution Manager Microsoft
Jim has an exceptional ability to work with conceptual ideas and in converting those ideas into understandable and workable processes. He is very good at presenting business situations and accompanying solutions, from the “board room to the shop floor”. He works well within a team environment, both as a manager and team member – always supporting the team and driving for performance. I personally relied on Jim’s creativity, commitment, and ability to “get things done” – across a wide spectrum of management levels.
