I have had the great pleasure and honor to work with James Yang during three of the most important roles of my career, and I count any successes as having been significantly due to James' brilliance, dedication and contribution. James, in my opinion, invented a management information system at Holland America Line that was the standard for the industry, indeed for any industry. His grasp of critical information, and his ability to interpret and apply it to strategic planning and daily business execution is unequaled. James is without question the most intelligent and value creating person I have ever worked with. Planning, Analysis, Product Design, Ship Deployments and Itineraries, Pricing, Revenue/Yield Management, Cost Models, Cost Control, Budgeting - for James, all an integrated, seamless system of superior business design and management tools. James is highly respected for his vast experience and intelligence by colleagues within the companies he has worked, and throughout the cruise and travel industry. He is also a wonderful human being with a caring heart and helping hand for everyone. I am very pleased to give my highest professional and personal recommendation of this greatly talented, high-impact business professional.
