Jim Means is a Vice President, Commercial Contracts at Barracuda. Colleagues describe them as "Jim is one of those rare lawyers who can think both tactically and strategically. As a product attorney on my team at Dell Technologies, Jim educated himself about the products he supported to an amazing depth and built strong relationships with the engineers and their leaders. All of this stood him in good stead when he negotiated critical supply agreements and assisted on divestiture activities. I was able to say "Jim, take care of this." and have complete confidence that it would be done well and on time." and "Jim's a great legal/regulatory business partner, because he approaches his job in a balanced way. He's equally driven by both the desire to mitigate risk and the desire to get business done. Jim's legal oversight has been a great advantage, because his recommendations allow us to be creative business people, while they also address and eliminate unnecessary risks."
