Bio
Debra Taylor
I was very fortunate to work with Jim for almost 20 years at Health Net. It was a joy to watch Jim grow at the company as he acquired more HR knowledge and experience and as he created effective working relationships as an HR generalist/business partner. Later, after he was promoted into managerial roles, I considered Jim a trusted colleague and enjoyed assignments that required our collaboration. Jim brings a thoughtful, legally-informed yet practical problem solving approach as he partners with HR and business colleagues. He is trustworthy and applies strong ethical standards to his work. Jim is also just very enjoyable to work with - with a kind sense of humor and fun. Anyone working with Jim is fortunate to have him on the team.

Jim is, without doubt, one of the most experienced and knowledgeable HR leaders I've had the pleasure of partnering with during my 15 years in the industry. It's refreshing to learn from such a talented individual that continues to focus on growth and development. As a client, Jim lead the AA/EEO efforts and presented solutions to complex scenarios. I was particularly impressed by Jim's ability to take a holistic approach. He ensured the organization went beyond the regulatory/compliance space and instead focused on being an employer of choice. Jim would be a great asset to any team. The skillset and experience he possesses is one that many companies need during these times.
