Jim doesn’t approach HR as a department: he sees it as an operating system.
After 35 years building, optimizing, and re-architecting that system, he knows exactly what it takes to connect culture with capability and strategy with structure.
Part CHRO, part enterprise architect, Jim has spent his career working both sides of the HR equation: as a people-first leader who’s rebuilt teams from the ground up, and as a certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 FO HR expert trusted to implement enterprise-grade systems. That rare blend of strategic vision and technical depth makes him a uniquely effective advisor.
Across roles in tech, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and professional services, Jim has led HR transformations post-IPO, guided ERP rollouts, and coached executive teams through growth, restructuring, and modernization.
Some career highlights include:
Principal Consultant & Senior Architect – Hitachi Solutions
