Jim is one of those leaders one just does not forget during my journey in our tech industry. Jim's breadth and depth of experience spans industries and leadership across leading tech firms. I personally have worked for Jim and have known many who have over the years - the one common thread is Jim is a Leader, Coach and builds teams to drive towards goals and high expectations. His balance of focus, humor at the right moment, and challenging one for growth helped set my career in motion. Working for Jim at Tivoli, I was able to achieve amazing outcomes in enterprise selling with complex solutions, build confidence and trust in others, and enjoy my career with diverse organizations. This is his reputation - A 360 understanding of business and a wide lens sales leader. I learned a great deal from Jim and I know any organization will grow because of Jim in a key leadership role. Thanks Jim for your contribution to my IT career!!

I went to college with Jim, worked with him and watched his career progress over the years. I can attest to his talents/skills, leadership qualities and proven track record. Jim has an uncanny ability to grasp technology markets, value propositions, positioning, messaging and then unites and motivates teams to over achieve. He has always been a good communicator, collaborates across departments and is well respected by customers, partners and colleagues. Jim has integrity and is professional in his style. I highly recommend Jim.
