Bio
David Hayes
I have worked with James for 3.5 years on sales, marketing and training information for Alcon Surgical. James has impressed me beyond what words can convey. His attention to detail, his listening and understanding, and his ability to create concepts that speak to the need of our business, make him indispensable. James has a special talent that makes his work amazing. He deconstructs the need so well and then creates solutions to meet that need. Our business at Alcon is extremely technical and detail oriented. James navigated our processes and produced materials that everyone customer facing is using today. I hope this recommendation gives you the confidence to partner with James on any projects you have that need his strategic and customer focused approach. I look forward to working with James on future projects.

James is an account service person's dream. He's got one of the most hardcore work ethic's of anyone I know. He's incredibly strategic, fantastically insightful and whip smart. His ability and curiosity to dig deep into the science for a variety of client's product or service offerings, all at once, is extraordinary. Not only do clients love working with him, they request he have a seat at the table for all meetings including briefings with Research & Development departments. I'd often bounce ideas off of James before a larger agency briefing because his feedback made my work better. I consider him a strong strategic partner and a generous one at that. Aside from his strategic chops, James is a true creative mind. Passionate, inventive, agile and dynamic, he's a natural conceptual thinker. His ideas are fresh, innovative and inspiring. Oh, and wow can he write. His versatility is impressive and his grace and wit are unrivaled. He is also one of the most charismatic presenters, whether presenting concepts or pitching new business. James is one of the most talented creatives I've ever worked with and definitely one of the most fun. He is the complete package in my book and would highly recommend him to anyone!
