What People are saying

You rarely come across standout talent like James. I had the pleasure of working with him for one year at Narvar, collaborating on the JPMorgan bank transition from SVB, JPM debt financing, and the Trovata implementation. I was particularly impressed by James' ability to effortlessly handle even the most demanding tasks to make sure all our projects were implemented on time and under budget. That skill often takes years to develop among Finance Transformation professionals, but it seemed to come naturally to him.

Pierre Masse

Controller at Vumedi

James is one of the most forward-thinking and innovative managers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I learned so much in the year that I was a member of his team. James excels in his ability to keep on top of daily challenges while looking ahead at any technological developments that can aid his team's mission. He always took the time to answer my many questions in a thoughtful and considerate manner. Any team will greatly benefit from his leadership, and any intern will greatly benefit from his mentorship!

Erica Calvache

Management Consultant

James gets what's essential and takes action. His instinct about the investment portfolio was accurate. He gave practical input and feedback, which allowed me to produce some really good work that he then used to make some important changes at Salesforce. I think he is naturally a great manager and leader, and I would definitely work with him again.

Tracy Rabold

Business Insights Manager

James is a highly talented individual with many outstanding qualities which allowed his contributions to be felt across the organization. In his treasury role, we worked together in correctly characterizing and messaging around certain high profile metrics which Wall Street consistently measured and watched. I think James has a great deal of organizational savvy and has the potential to be a great leader.
