James Vickery is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe him as "As the Operations Officer, LCDR James Vickery expertly handled the important task of force protection. His ability to work with US Army, UK Marines and Afghan Soldiers resulted in a well-protected US facility. Since I worked, lived and slept on that facility, I was dependent on his force protection acumen and judgment. He did a great job, and ensured our Navy team all came back safely. Also, since we worked side-by-side with the US Army and UK, and we mentored the Afghans, his ability to influence people in the private sector directly resulted in better relations with coalition and Afghan forces. I would gladly work with him any time, and when I own my own company, he would be my first choice as Vice President for Operations." and "James is a dedicated, business oriented manager. He knows how to inspire the best and manage the worst into acceptable performance (or to exit them in a manner that is well documented and holds up to union scrutiny). He communicates well and is passionate about results and metrics. He maintains close communication with HR to ensure that he manages his staff (across 25 properties) in full compliance with union contracts and state and federal law. He is always seeking to improve not only himself, but his entire team..and he knows how to have fun at the same time!"
