Feedback from LinkedIN

“Working for a technology company there are always going to be challenges and Jim is not afraid to make difficult decisions to get the right outcome for the customer. During the last five years of working with Jim he has tirelessly supported my team and customers making sure as an organisation we get it right, pulling a few rabbits out hats along the way. Jim has also made many fundamental changes to the Telstra EMEA business, implementing a net-promoter scheme and turning our score from negative to a high positive, championing good practise and our quest to achieve industry standards and accreditations.”

Telstra

Jim is an outstanding customer and operational professional, with many years experience in the Telecoms market. When i was heading the Sales division for Telstra in EMEA, Jim lead the service organisation and was exceptionally customer focused. We worked on many complex projects together, and Jim always delivered on the solutions my team sold, including working through the challenges of delivery and service in many difficult developing nations.

I can highly recommend Jim as a customer service and operations Executive, he is an asset to any organisation

Andrew Wildblood
Telstra

James is an extremely personable individual with a flare for weeding out the important stuff from the noise that is everpresent. We worked together towards implementing a system and a strategy for provisioning which would significantly reduce costs. His drive and enthusiasm was instrumental in ensuring stakeholders right across the business could see both the direct and ‘knock on’ benefits this would provide. Throughout ever changing management structures and direction he never lost sight of the goal. I wish him well and trust our paths will cross again!
