Bio
Lynn Johnson
I have been fortunate to work with Jay at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and subsequently at SPi Global. Jay is an absolute pleasure to have on the team. His calm demeanor and attention to detail are real assets to fast-paced projects. He provides clear and concise direction to junior staff and patiently models expected outcomes. His "can do" attitude inspires confidence in clients and colleagues. Under Jay's leadership, projects are delivered on-time, on-budget and with impeccable quality. Jay's experience and fortitude are assets to any team.
Jim Strickler
Jay was an excellent member of a strong editorial group. His attention to detail, desire to get things right, and ability to focus despite a hectic work environment made him a great member of the team. In addition, he was by far the individual most comfortable exploring new software and the one quickest to learn how to use it efficiently.
