“Jim is a great leader who I find difficult to categorise as his expertise, experience and interests span so broadly. I really appreciated his genuine care for building an inclusive environment with diverse talent. He builds accountable leadership teams that are psychologically safe to have the difficult conversations and move forward as a team. He is going out of his way to grow and elevate the people around him to new levels. He is also a visionary in the infrastructure space leveraging his many connections in the industry. Having him in any project is a major energy injection: business know-how, attention to detail, listening deeply to the industry feedback and breaking all of this down to the internal teams' leaders. I’m super grateful for everything I’ve been able to learn from Jim and consider him one of the best leaders I’ve worked with. ”
