He brings business expertise, along with technical, interpersonal, creative and ethical strengths. Sharing office space, Jamie was consistently friendly, interesting and generous. Working as partners on various projects, he was an intelligent decision maker and a true collaborator. Jamie shares relevant knowledge and always adds to the greater good of the team. " and "I had the pleasure of working with and managing Jamie during his time at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation is a dynamic work environment, and the position Jamie filled, Program Coordinator, was at the nexus of all internal and external coordination and communication for making grants and contracts. Jamie balanced the investment (grants and contracts) portfolios of up to 7 Program Officers, assisting them with internal processes. He assessed the risk level of each investment to determine the involvement of the Legal, Grants/Contracts and Financial Planning teams. Jamie was the primary resource for grantseekers/vendors throughout the process, managing timelines and expectations. Working across these groups required the ability to adjust communications (written and verbal) appropriately for the audience. Jamie was a valuable team member. As temporary hires joined the team for peak seasons, Jamie would jump in to provide training and assist the new member with problem-solving. He provided key insight as to workload allocation so as to make the most of the short time we had the temp hires. When new, permanent members joined the team, Jamie was a ready resource and mentor. Always patient and ready to share best practices. At one point during Jamie's time at the foundation, 5 new systems (ex: grant management, invoicing, contract management) were adopted. His role as Program Coordinator required him to quickly gain proficiency in all systems as well as train his Program Officers on the processes that accompanied those systems. Good-natured, friendly, but always professional, Jamie was well-regarded by his colleagues and the Program Officers whom he supported. When transitions occurred (usually to level workloads among the Program Coordinators) his Program Officers never failed to comment on the loss of their partnership with him."

Listed skills include Nonprofits, Philanthropy, International Development, Management, and 9 others.
