I have known Jim for 25 years now working together in the same sector, although he has a broad experience across many sectors. The words that come to mind when I think of him are integrity, dependability and professionalism
James Lockhart
Head of Product Marketing, TelcoSwitch
I have been lucky to work on several projects alongside Jim.
His expertise in planning and executing global go-to-market initiatives always proved invaluable. Beyond this however, his positivity, enthusiasm, and general joie-de-vivre are what set him apart.
I couldn't recommend him more.
