Sullivan, former Ambassador to Ireland under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.Jim is passionate about people and loves working in fast-paced, challenging environments with professionals from all over the world. He fervently believes organizations network and service requirements are put in place as a result of nothing other than good dialogue and communication between clients and their vendors. To Jim, it’s much more than technical pieces fitting together in some sort of jigsaw puzzle. Successful business partnerships are glued together by the people and leaders in each. Jim’s glass is always half-filled and he encourages “all boats to rise” in every engagement he is involved in. In 2018, Jim was honored and named to the 'Silicon Valley Top 50' by the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG) for the third consecutive year, which recognizes the Top 50 Irish and Irish-American business executives shaping technology in the world today.
