[ Providing Best Practices in BUSINESS + WORK. Helping clients and partners successfully deliver culturally and socially driven environments and exhibitions that create a purposeful and inspirational role in business and in society. ]I’m James Hungerford and I’ve been working in the exhibition and environmental branding industry for over 30 years. My passion for executing creative Business + Work has not only been the foundation of my career, but also the catalyst of a successful 13-year tenure as CEO and President of Xibitz, Inc. In addition to, creating a very successful and profitable company, my history at Xibitz included providing the leadership that produced dozens of remarkable environment and exhibition projects, for the Museum, Corporate, Healthcare, Sports and Higher Education markets, while working synergistically with the architecture and design community. Following the acquisition of Xibitz in January 2016, I ended my relationship with the company and took a sabbatical and continued to reflect on collaborative leadership and building effective partnerships.2016 thru 2017 I consulted on, “Perlan: Wonders of Iceland”. Located in the Perlan, a landmark dome-shaped, glass building in Reykjavik will be the home of Iceland’s biggest nature exhibition.
