I worked with Jim closely during my time as the President of Consumer Insurance in the Americas. The way the businesses were structured in the Region, we needed to have strong administrative capabilities within our operation to make sure we had fully operational plans or processes in place to ensure business continuity across the board and Jim led this effort admirably. In many ways he functioned as a very close business partner, not only for me, but for all of our senior leadership in the Region. He is highly efficient, works well with people across the enterprise and should be an asset to any leadership team.

I met Jim for over four years ago when I offered him his first position with AIG. It was a good decision, and I recommend him to anyone looking for an executive who can keep many balls in the air while bringing project, operational and expense discipline to the organization. Jim has a wealth of insurance industry experience and also learns new skills quickly. I found him particularly adept at the multiple phases of change management. In the early stages of culture, strategy and structural change Jim is excellent at managing multiple project streams, including overseeing and controlling consulting engagements. In the middle stages he works well with business and functional leaders on talent assessment and organization design to support the new direction of the company. Finally, he is a master at developing relationships at multiple levels of the organization giving him the ability to help the leader assess the level of acceptance or resistance to change in the new organization. Jim was also able to take actual operating responsibility in a regional business unit helping to drive growth and efficiency – this ranged from integrating recently acquired companies to bringing new discipline to expense management and everything in between. Setting all this aside, Jim was someone I could trust to be honest even when it was not convenient and to put the company first.
