I had the pleasure of working closely with Jim on the migration of CosmoMusic.ca to VTEX. Jim was a strategic thinker with an excellent grasp of the technical and operational aspects of running an ecommerce operation. He was also passionate about delivering the best experience to customers throughout all sales channels. Jim’s leadership was essential in delivering the project on time and guaranteeing successful change management for operational teams, as well as ensuring a smooth transition for B2C and B2B customers. I also appreciated Jim's effective communication skills, which made collaborating with team members and stakeholders a lot easier and more enjoyable. I very much looked forward to continuing to work with Jim in future projects.

It is very easy to talk about people who only aggregate in our work. Jim has a strategic, simple and functional vision of how to delight the customer and how to improve the experience for them and how to make the work less cumbersome and more enjoyable and with a lot of learning. Everyone wins with Jim on the team: more intelligence, more strategy and more positivity!
