Bio
Sharon Rossi
Jim worked with me at GPTMC/ Visit Philadelphia in the advertising department when I was VP Advertising and Strategic Alliances. Jim took responsibility for helping to design the partnerships and strategic alliances function. Together we built a very successful JMP program. Within this joint marketing media partnerships program regional partners purchased carefully constructed portions of our media and creative seasonal advertising packages. This was a tightly managed process that required thoughtful and skilled communication with our media and creative agencies, potential partners and internal staff. Jim's background in understanding and negotiating financial contracts and working with government partners was essential. He was calm in the face of potential chaos and supportive at all times. He became an intelligent and respected leader and capable of sound planning for every new program. He was a trusted colleague for many years and someone whom I would recommend without reservation.
Deborah Diamond
Jim was a great colleague at GPTMC (now Visit Philadelphia). He shared information and collaborated extremely well and was a great partner in completing projects. Jim is a thorough professional, attending to the details and the big picture and overall goals at the same time. Jim respects the work of others, contributes to the bottom line and is great to work with.
