James Byrnes is a Chief Operating Officer at Mavely. He possess expertise in cross functional team leadership, strategic partnerships, strategy, product management, forecasting and 23 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "It seems that regardless of obstacles, Jim always finds a way to accomplish goals. He is a dedicated and well liked co-worker who is very good at asking "What if...?" or "Why don't we try...?" Jim maintains a good mix of financial analytics and sales/marketing focus." and "When Jim took over the Applus Technologies Finance Department, he knew at once that it was essential to restructure the department, develop a leaner and more agile team, and make Finance a more respected business partner to other departments and divisions throughout the company. Jim succeeded by working tirelessly to find and develop talented staff who could work as a close-knit team and build off of each other's accomplishments. He also built relationships with operating divisions that had previously been neglected, which greatly enhanced the department's ability to support the company, and also improved the quality of information we received from the operating divisions. Jim was not afraid to take a chance and hire me full-time into the accounting department though I lacked formal accounting training. And as I delivered results, he worked hard to promote me and gave me increasingly challenging assignments. Jim was a true mentor, and without his guidance, and the career trajectory he helped me find, I would not have developed my financial analysis skills nor gone to business school."
