About James Briggs

I believe in the art of the possible, achieved through hard work to unlock the magic of talent and unleash innovation that can deliver extraordinary business outcomes.From as far back as I can remember I have been motivated by this belief. As a teen growing up in a single-parent household and as a disabled athlete, pursuing excellence and knowing the value of hard work became paramount to my success. I built upon this background to become the first in my family to get a college education, to compete as an elite wheelchair athlete around the globe, and to attain my graduate degree. Today as a C-level organizational leader I leverage this foundation across market-leading, billion-dollar entities from consumer goods/services, technology, and healthcare industries. I have served as a trusted C-suite advisor and senior HR executive helping companies navigate exponential and complex business transformations. These include Pre-IPO, rapid growth and scale, accelerated market expansion, turnarounds, M&As and pandemics. A powerful listener and influencer, I am recognized for drive, accountability and merging data insights with a strong commercial business acumen and operational orientation to successfully drive exceptional performance across all operations and corporate endeavors globally. Standout achievements include…EXECUTIVE AGILITY – Led HR teams while guiding complex operations to deliver high impact projects and operational goals. Designed and built global facilities, including ERP systems, and supporting manufacturing and service and logistics teams.BUILDING ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITY – Designed and developed a customer focused services organization, including talent acquisition strategies, compensation programs, training, and on-boarding, delivering millions in annual SG&A savings.OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE – Led review of quality device servicing practices via LEAN and Kaizen to streamline in-hospital device availability measures and service route delivery optimization, delivering deep seven figures in sustainable annualized COGS reduction. HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE BUILDING – Partnered with CEO on integrating multiple post-acquisition entities leading to cultural change, enhanced company values and mission, organizational design, and performance-based compensation.LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – Led design and development of a senior leadership program building future leadership talent at GE Access, GOAL Program, driving ideation and growth.
