Jim has held numerous transformational leadership positions in sales, sales management, and product management, as well as global C-suite roles in R&D, digital transformation, ecosystem management, and external technology innovation sourcing - including M&A – over a 33-year corporate career. The constant driver across these positions has been his strategic ability to discover, create, and develop opportunities and implement technologies that create a positive social impact while increasing profitability for customers, suppliers, and the company. He believes that the key to success in the green economy sits with the innovators across an organization - whether they occupy roles in sales, supply chain, R&D, HR, Digital, or the C-Suite, and Jim has collaboratively reached across silos to create game changing outcomes for over three decades. Currently Jim is CEO coach, a CEO group Vistage Chair, as well as a Senior Research Fellow with The Conference Board and a start up mentor with Endeavor Global. Reading, writing, skiing, yoga, and spending time on the water and with his family are a few of his favorite activities .
