“I had the privilege and pleasure to work for Jim for almost 10 years at my time at BBC Global News. He is an inspiring and engaging CEO, who takes time to develop both the business and the people within it. I saw Jim work highly effectively at all levels of the organisation. He is extremely eloquent and clear in his approach, but open to the ideas of others and brings people with him whether it be at board level, senior management or at all staff meetings. He is extremely approachable and takes time to get to know the people in his organisation, and he put trust in myself and my peers allowing us space to grow and develop but always clear with us in terms of what he expected us to deliver. One of Jim's key strengths is in business strategy, with exceptional knowledge of the industry and market trends to back up his approach. He led the transformation of our business through a range of initiatives in the digital, subscription and TV business areas, and was a passionate driver of change and modernity. He championed our need to evolve into a more direct-to-consumer business, and to a more data led organisation, away from more traditional forms of driving revenues. These led us to a compelling and exciting future business model which is now delivering strong results. I would highly recommend Jim as a personable, effective and driven senior leader who combines the natural ability to get people of all levels on his side, whilst also able to challenge and grow a business to greater success through strategic change and an acumen and passion for results.”
