James manages the MasterCard Priceless Beijing Campaign and Prestige Collection for China. During the 2.5 years that we worked with him to deliver numerous milestones and outputs, James was a collaborative client with a friendly and personable demeanour. He has strong people and cross cultural skills and has proven to be skilled at resolving conflicts. Importantly, he is adept at working in a business environment where he must meet multiple (sometimes conflicting) demands - no small feat in a country such as China.
