It is a privilege to have been working with Jim, to witness his undisputable customer focus, his relationship he has built to thought leaders, and to enjoy his view on solution selling.

Jim often utilizes creative ways to identify market and sales opportunities, and with his positive attitude, he is able to engage and convince his clients to partner with him. Jim pays attention to details; he is pragmatic and capable to grasp a critical situation holistically seeking to solve the problem.

Having a helpful and thoughtful mentor in a new role is crucial for getting up to speed in a new role, and Jim was gracious enough to be that mentor for me earlier this year. Jim has always made time to not only help me, and others, understand the technology I was selling and supporting, but putting it into context of what was important to the customer. I learned a lot from Jim from not only a product training perspective, but also a strategic thinking angle as well. I strongly recommend Jim for any customer facing role but more importantly as a supportive, inquisitive, and generous teammate.
