Thanks Jim!", "Jim Meyer is a financial executive with whom I worked at Choose Chicago, the visitors bureau/sales and marketing arm of Chicago for tourism, meetings, and conventions.
He is a terrific leader in senior management, sound financially with management of the finances, but a sound strategist and visionary as to what is possible, and how to improve revenues and customer service. His commitment and passion are unparalleled, and I sought his counsel often for financial issues, but for business issues overall as well.
Jim is a terrific people person as well, taking the time almost daily to walk around and engage employees of all levels, thank them for what they are doing, and just generally asking them about their area and what could be done to help. He didn't do it because anybody was watching, but he did do it to make sure he had his thumb on the morale in the office, and to be able to remove obstacles in their way of doing their job.
The role of CFO is no longer just "filling in the scorecard" on how the operations is doing with debits and credits, and Jim is a good representation of how the CFO and the financial team can be an important "point of the spear".
I would highly recommend him for any leadership role.", and "Anyone who has worked with Jim knows that he is a consummate professional who possesses the technical skills and business acumen to be a exceptional Chief Financial Officer but what makes Jim such an exceptional executive is the leadership and management qualities he offers. I had the pleasure of working with Jim during my tenure at Choose Chicago. He played an instrumental role in consolidating two organizations into one to form a powerhouse enterprise. His thoughtful and caring manner in the process along with exceptional business acumen he provided served as an important guidepost for all the staff. I am sure there are many talented CFO's across the LinkedIn platform, but few have the combination of traits that make Jim a great leader of people, senior executive and team member as Jim. I would be honored to work with Jim again in the future."
