Bio
Thomas Newsom
James has both the passion for excellence and adaptive leadership required to succeed in today's global business environment. For over 2 years I have worked with James in his purchasing role at PPG. This interaction has afforded me the unique opportunity to observe his leadership, planning and analytical skills in varied environments and circumstances. James has consistently excelled in all of my personal interactions with him. Additionally, he has demonstrated maturity and a level of professionalism beyond what you'd expect for his length of service.
Alan Randall
James is a very energetic and detailed individual who develops great relationships with the people he works with. As a chemist in the B&B business group, he reached beyond the day to day formulating activities and became involved in raw material cost reduction activities on high volume as well as specialty chemicals. His efforts, in identification and qualification of raw materials, yielded bottom line profit results during a period of rapid raw material price increases. These efforts were recognized by other business units, because of the positive impact on their raw material prices also. I would highly recommend James, to anyone looking for a technically grounded engineer capable of identifying, qualifying and implementing cost reductions. Especially material related cost benefits. The relationships he develops with colleagues inside and suppliers outside of the organization will have a positive impact on any business.
