Bio
Tawanna Armstrong-Ivory
It has been a pleasure working with James over the past 10+ years at JLL. James is directly responsible for ensuring Tier 1 level, business critical products adhere to company disaster recovery and compliance guidelines. His upbeat personality and commitment to his role enables him to interact effectively with the various client / account teams, pulling the right people into discussions, engagement in implementing disaster recovery strategies, industry best practices, execution, testing, resulting in successful DR recoveries. I recommend James without any reservations as he would make a solid leader on any team. Sincerey, Tawanna Armstrong-Ivory
Susan Nuccio
I had the privilege of working with James Simonson for a decade during my long tenure at JLL. James is a high-performing, seasoned resource who consistently adds value in any situation by delivering exceptional results that promote program growth and operational enhancements and efficiencies. James has strong strategic thinking skills; is able to communicate to all levels of staff, from creation of Fortune 500 Board of Directors presentations to influencing peers to give their best efforts on projects. He has the ability to remain unflappable during times of disruption. James was a key resource on my team, and someone on whom I relied to unravel knotty global issues, work directly with clients and professional audit teams, successfully mentor junior staff, and provide a sounding board when I personally needed peer input. James is highly-organized, thoughtful, professional, utterly reliable, and has personal warmth and a sense of humor that make him stand out as a respected technology leader.
