Bio
Louise Nicholls
I had the opportunity to work with James for over 3 years. James is a dedicated team member, who you can rely on to bring order and structure to not only his work, but also that of the team. James is a passionate communications professional who understands business need and how to deliver on projects and objectives. James brings fun and enthusiasm to his work and can drive through those projects he believes are key no matter how much of a challenge they seem, such as introducing Workplace. James would be an asset to any team and has most recently proved his line management skills are also strong especially during challenging times such as pandemics. James is also strong with technology and can champion technology change whilst supporting others throughout the organisation of any ability. An asset to any team.

I was lucky enough to work alongside James in the same Marketing team. James loves nothing more than to get his teeth stuck into a new challenge, in fact he thrives on it, and he won’t stop until he gets there! He’s always the first to offer creative and results-driven ideas. He loves learning new technologies and finding digital solutions. He has been a fountain of knowledge for me and is always so willing to help. He also has a strategic mind and isn’t afraid to challenge decisions, in a diplomatic way, if it doesn’t fit. He’s such a great brand advocate for Raven and his passion for their cause and values really shines through. He’s going to go far and I look forward to hearing about his further successes.

Commercial Manager Telecoms IQ
-
Jan 2013 - Nov 2014
I'm responsible for a series of operator led conferences throughout the EMEA and US regions. My particular focus is on Customer Experience Management and Big Data where I source various solution providers to secure platforms at Telecom IQ events that are specialists in this field. More recently I have looking after M2M space as well. We are extremely selective in terms of specific vendors where we only have approximately between 6-10 solution providers at any of our events. They must be a right fit for the operators and also for the solution provider themselves so I conduct an extensive screening process to ensure it is a right fit for everyone involved. Show less
