Jamie is a "go-to" individual that gets the job done. He has a deep understanding of the transportation industry and uses this knowledge to find the right balance between cost and service. One of the many bright spots I had while working with Jamie was his ability and willingness to partner with other business units to solve problems.

I worked with Jamie during my time at Lowe's and always found him to be knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to work with. He, along with the rest of his team, were always willing to partner with IT to try new things and help us test. He was thorough, detailed, and willing to go the extra mile.
