"As Interim CIO for a client, Jim impressed us in three ways: 1) He crystallized IT needs in a short period of time; 2) His grasp of the business and IT vision earned Jim an essential role in Strategic Planning; and 3) Jim did what he said he would do and delivered what he promised – on time and on budget."

"Jim is very qualified to serve as an Interim CIO. He understands the daily challenges, pressures, and responsibilities of a CIO, but is also able to see his way clear to develop long term strategy and planning - and then is able to implement. Jim solves problems in a practical, mature, clear, and ethical manner."

“Jim is a very skilled CIO. Jim works hard to understand the underlying business needs and objectives. Jim then takes the time to assess the existing business unit environment, including it’s' people, IT resources, and processes. The result is an IT plan that (a) has "buy-in" from a cross section of both management and staff, and (b) is meaningful, understandable and realistic in both timeframe and budget. I was fortunate to have Jim as a part of the team at Medica Health Plans."
