"Super-efficient" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about James! I had the pleasure of working with James over the last year at Southern Company, collaborating on several project teams. His enthusiastic, optimistic attitude is contagious and serves to motivate and energize his project staff. He is a natural leader who has the gift of identifying key issues and developing strategic plans to keep his projects on schedule. James is also very calm and collected under pressure. He has superb problem-solving skills as well as exceptional team-building skills. I was particularly impressed by his ability to quickly understand the client's business needs and translate them into clear, concise requirements, a skill that often takes years to develop among customer service professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly natural to James. As a team member or Project Manager, James has earned my highest recommendation and I am confident that he would be a huge asset to any team.Quotes

I had the honor of hiring James as a Program Director for the Office of Health Information Technology and Transparency.

Both projects were extremely complex and required a program director that was capable of working with large cross-functional teams. James brought out the best in his team. He is professional, gracious, honest, hardworking, and intelligent. He is able to build effective working relationships built on trust and execution. I have enjoyed working with James, he is an exceptional person.

Renea Steele

Senior Manager, Cambria Solutions

I worked with James on a critical Y2K project in Bogota, Colombia in 1999. In one of the most intense, challenging, and difficult environments, and with the "natural" time constraints of the project. James did a superb job managing the people under him, the customer, and the support group back in headquarters. I felt his professionalism, intelligence, and overall integrity were key factors in the success of such a project.

James was responsible for the operations of a Telecommunications account with Cap Gemini. I was the Human Resources Manager for a different group of business and technical consultants. Some of my technical consultants worked for James on his account, and he and I spoke regularly about the performance of the consultants. At the end of the project, my consultants felt that James was an excellent manager, especially for his motivational, communications, and teaching skills. They also learned much from James on how to provide excellent customer service to clients.

Kristia Elia, PhD, PMP®, ITIL®

System Director at Governor's Office of Student Achievement

QuotesJames brought me into the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) as a Project Administrator in the middle a very confusing and disorganized collection of projects that he himself had just engaged with. James faced considerable resistance from leadership in various organizations on the goal of getting all the state departments on the same page. If James couldn't get everyone on the same page, it was very doubtful that we could implement the solution in even one segment of the Program. With James leadership, I was able to start contributing on a large scale within a month, and in 3 months, James had every organization involved with the program up to speed and involved. James quiet but strong and steady leadership forced the players in the program to pay attention, and participate. He accomplished this with innovative communication methods that allowed for key people in different roles to work together, share information, and coordinate their efforts.Quotes
