Bio
Kenneth Richardson, CFA
I have had the pleasure to work with Jim on two separate occasions (GE Capital Fleet and then Element Fleet) over the past 10 years and it's always been a pleasure. Jim has the ability to balance his passion for the client experience with an open, honest, and easy-going demeanour that makes him an excellent partner to be "in the trenches" with. We worked together through the financial crisis, acquisitions, integrations, migrations, with oil prices going from extreme highs to extreme lows and he always help find the right solution and kept both his wits and his humour about him - always an excellent combination and I wish him all the best in his continued success!

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." William Arthur Ward Jim has inspired me to learn, grow and listen. His impact to his colleagues will not be lessened by time and I look forward to my next opportunity to collaborate with him.
