Bio
George Knox
Jim joined Flexiant in 2012 about the same time that I did. Flexiant was largely unknown at the time. Having worked with Jim many years previously I was keen to see what impact he would make. He quickly established himself as one of the drivers behind the transformation of Flexiant's market position and marketing capability. Within one year we had rebranded, built a team of experts, introduced marketing technology and a fit for purpose web presence, built a content creation engine and a social media presence. Critically we also engaged deeply and widely across global analysts, influencers and technology partners. I would relish the opportunity to work with Jim again and highly recommend him
John Pocock
Jim has demonstrated his ability to create a substantial corporate online presence fro Flexiant together with the forming and development of strategic partnerships. These qualities and skills are hard to find and I would readily wish to hire Jim again in any organisation.
