Jamie’s track record of recruiting renowned software executives to both emerging private entities and Fortune 500 corporations is indicative of his ability to understand specific needs and attract compatible leadership intent on meeting challenge.
Publicly held software companies and high tech venture capital firms repeatedly engage Jamie to identify talent for opportunities requiring seasoned executives who have sterling track records with public corporations and possess entrepreneurial start-up experience. Using a combination of primary research and his vast network of industry contacts, Jamie has filled numerous CEO, CFO, senior sales and marketing management, and other key functional and operations roles for public and private companies. His many long-term client relationships are based upon his ability to engage clients as partners who value his persistence, analytical abilities, and broad business understanding.
Clients nationwide rely on Jamie to negotiate a broad range of issues influencing recruitment. Jamie was integral in recruiting the EVP Field Operations of a well known enterprise software company based in an established technology center to a much smaller privately held company located in a rural area of the country. As SVP Worldwide Sales, this individual dramatically increased revenue within a highly competitive software sector, which led to one of the most successful IPOs in 2004. Understanding the desire for greater professional challenge, Jamie convinced the CTO of a $500 million network management software company to make a lateral move to a $100 million competitor headquartered in a much smaller city. The executive was instrumental in more than doubling the company’s market capitalization within nine months.
Jamie’s dedication to detail, timely results, and delivery of superior client service began during his tenure with Ernst & Young, where he was a senior auditor. A graduate of Miami University, he is based in Redwood Shores.
