Rich Witaszak

I worked for Jim in the capacity of CFO for American Identify. Jim is an intelligent and logical thought leader. He was good at listening and learning aspects of the business he did not know, and did a terrific job at mentoring me with his knowledge and leadership skills that helped lead me to my current role as General Manager. I would strongly endorse Jim for any Senior Leadership/Executive Management role.
