ANDREW CLEWSBUSINESS INNOVATION ADVISOR,CALLAHAN INNOVATION,NEW ZEALAND

Jim was a key member of the Home Products team at Amway over the years that I was privileged to lead the group. His professionalism and positive attitude was second to none and he was particularly skilled at leading international teams charged with solving challenging business issues. During our time working together Jim completed a thorough analysis of a core piece of the company's product portfolio where tough decisions were required around heritage brands. There was a need to manage the added complexity of a raft of competing perspectives and heartfelt emotion shared across global markets with respect to these legacy products. Retaining a cool head and a focus on objectives was critical to his success in delivering a positive outcome for the business. I can recommend Jim as a great addition to any organization

JAZMINE YEARACKDIGITAL SPECIALIST, AMWAY CORPORATION,GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS, USA

Early in my career I was lucky enough to work for Jim for several years. I was switching from a career in dog grooming/competing into a corporate environment. Jim saw my talent and potential not my lack of experi-ence, he interviewed and hired me to join the newly established department in Digital Marketing. Our team worked hard and had a wonderful time along the way. A few highlights include launching a new website in Europe for a new beauty brand in 22 countries, setting web standards for 80+ affiliates and multiple experi-ential/brand emersion meetings for external partners. Working for Jim has continued to be a highlight of my career, he continues to mentor me to this day. His integrity and leadership style is like no other, his passion for people and always doing the right thing is nearly impossible to find today. Jim is an inspiration, he knows how to build a team that works hard and has fun and will always be one of the smartest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDATIONSANNA HORNERBRAND MANAGER, AMWAY CORPORATION,EUROPE -LONDON,ENGLAND

I feel privileged to have worked with James on a number of projects during my time at Amway;from brand and product launches across Europe, to showcasing at London Fashion Week. James creates a perfect learning environment, where you feel inspired and enthused to exceed all set goals. A champion in communication with exceptional people skills, James made working on some challenging projects an enjoy-able experience. I very much hope our professional paths may crossagain in the future!

KATHY L IUASSISTANT RAND MANAGERAMWAY CORPORATIONGLOBAL HEADQUARTERS, USA

Jim interviewed, hired, managed and mentored me in my MBA corporate marketing internship at Amway in the summer of 2012. From the start, he was both an amazing manager, mentor and friend. Jim sought my ideas and input to develop my strategic summer project before I even started, allowing the internship expe-rience to be one I can be truly motivated and engaged in. In addition to my capstone project, Jim encouraged me throughout the summer to engage in social activities and mini-projects that would further enhance my Amway experience. This led to a video development project that is now used as a corporate recruiting tool at universities. Jim went above and beyond to ensure I had the best available tools to succeed at Amway. This was the best internship experience I have ever had-it truly is the reason why I decided to take the full-time offer to come back to Amway. Anyone who has worked with Jim will recognize his unprecedented talent. He is an undeniable gem and asset to any company that values a true leader. to success.
