Bio
Jennifer Howard
I worked with James as part of the HR senior leadership team in the Technology, Services and Operations division of BT group plc. As head of the learning and development function at the time I worked closely with James in his role of programme managing the key work streams across the HR function. James was a real pleasure to work with. His insight and pragmatic approach was invaluable to ensuring that we met our aspirations and cut through the noise. James has a skill for bringing the whole team together, diffusing and managing complex situations and getting the best out of people. I know if I go to James with a problem I’ll get an intelligent and well thought out response, but also a creative approach to getting things done.

James of Audeo Fortis has collaborated with me from business start-up and continues to offer support as we approach our 6th year of business. No job is too big or small for James, he listens to your needs and interprets into a workable solution which either he personally applies or he provides instructions so I can deliver. It is this approach which is a winner for me; I get to keep control of how my systems and brand are progressing but have the full support of a professional who has a wealth of experience of small business to corporate problem solving. James always grasps what it is I need to achieve despite my quick messages due to time constraints and bandwidth, he is not afraid to ask questions and push back which is an invaluable skill for any business. From creating an accounting system, brand, website and compliance for GDPR & EU Cookie law to providing stellar market insights James has managed my expectations from the start and always over-delivered. With Audeo Fortis by my side I have the confidence to make large changes and dare to push my own technical boundaries knowing I have unconditional support and professional consultation along the way.
