“Jim recruited most of the commercial and technical positions located outside the USA for my company from 2011 to 2016 when the company was spun off of the parent company. We relied on Jim like he was an employee. His commitment, trustworthiness, and results make him someone I continue to partner with. I recently engaged Jim to lead the talent management component of an acquisition project for my Private Equity firm.”
