“James and I worked closely together when I was Chief of Staff at Aspire. A few things really stood out to me about James. First is his relationships with people, and particularly how he mentors and supports his team as well as anyone that reaches out to ask for support. James never missed an opportunity to speak with someone about their career trajectory, aspirations, or hopes for the future, and offered his support and reflections to help people grow, evolve, and become the best version of themselves. He is authentic in his relationships with others. Secondly, I remember really tactically him helping us to define a new annual planning process for our organization and he brought tools and recommendations to bear to help those of us executing the work head in the right direction, but allowed appropriate latitude in figuring out how to execute. James has stayed in touch regularly since I left the organization and is someone I not only consider a professional colleague but a personal friend. ”
