Bio
Lynn Leadley (She/Her)
J.B. has worked for me for over 3 1/2 years at Pax8. He has taken on multiple roles, from trainer/facilitator, to manager of the learning development team, to driving strategy for Learning & Development. J.B. is reliable, dedicated, wicked smart, and a fantastic communicator and collaborator. J.B. is thoughtful, self-aware and always open to feedback and coaching. J.B. has helped to drive some major initiatives at Pax8 that have resulted in positive financial benefits. J.B. is a great connector of dots and networker with people, inside and outside of Pax8. He strives to bring his best to the job every day, and oftentimes volunteers to help others outside of his role, when he sees an opportunity to add value. It's been a pleasure working with J.B. and getting to know him on a personal level. I am certain he will continue to live the Pax8 values every day and make a positive impact to the organization.
Jamie B.
I had the benefit of working for a manager who was both a leader and a friend. I reported directly to J.B. for over a year while working at Pax8 and had the pleasure of collaborating with him on several projects. J.B. has exceptional insight and knows all the right questions to ask to get to the heart of an issue. My favorite thing about working with J.B. is his ability to effectively manage stakeholders. Whenever I was in a tight spot, J.B. would offer astute guidance to help me manage stakeholders and expectations so that projects were completed on time and within scope. As a leader, JB is compassionate and genuinely cares for his team and advocates for their success. Any organization would be fortunate to have J.B. on their team and I give him my highest recommendation.
