Bio
Shalini Chowdhary
James has undoubtedly, the best analytical mind I have ever seen. His ability to break down complex problems into manageable tasks made him a great boss. His logic and ability to see a problem at a completely different angle, and then come up with a solution made him one of the most admired people in the company. I would love to work with James again if the opportunity arises.
Marc Van Gerwen
I worked with James when leading the commercial teams in Europe, and also as business director. James' experience in both commodity and specialty chemicals businesses has helped me and my team, including sales, commercial and product managers, quickly grasp tactical and strategic pricing opportunities in challenging markets. He has effectively challenged assumptions to drive profit improvements throughout a wide variety of product lines and businesses in Crompton and Chemtura.
