James is one of the most solid sales people and managers i've worked with across the globe (and i've worked with alot of sales people and teams). I have had the chance to spend alot of time with him on sales calls in South Africa, lots of internal meetings and a long client trip to New York. He is great relationship builder and very client focussed which explains the great success he has had even in the few years i've worked with him. I definitely look forward to working with him again in the future.
