Jamie has a natural empathy and intuition for people and he instantly got a grasp of the human centred design processes, ethnographic research methods and service design principles. From the very first day he was motivated to get behind and thoroughly understand and take an active part in each phase of the project - from problem framing, through organising and conducting research, syntheses, ideation and eventually coming up with new value propositions for end users and a set of strategic recommendations. Jamie showed a lot of creativity and resourcefulness when coupling the qualitative research with his quantitative expertise - it resulted in a all-round set of broad customer and product insights. Jamie is driven and keen to apply the most relevant ways to communicate insights to stakeholders. He does it in an energetic, authentic fashion, whether in an informal catch up or while facilitating multi-stakeholder workshops. His strategic understanding of the company DNA helped to ground the project in the reality. Jamie is a unique, brilliant, collaborative, dedicated manager and a very unique person to work and exchange ideas with - from technical through business, to the abstract ones. I admire his working ethics and his honest, respectful and kind attitude towards everyone in the team.", and "I reported into Jamie at COPA90 and I could not have asked for a better manager.
