Colleagues describe him as "I first got to know Jim when we worked together at Synopsys, where I found him to be a verification specialist with a strong interest in marketing and clear skills in this direction. While at Cadence, I had the opportunity to hire Jim for a verification product management role within the marketing organization. Jim is very knowledgeable about key aspects of verification and about the EDA business in general. He has a great work ethic and a strong list of customer contacts who know and respect him. I recommend Jim for a verification role as a marketeer, corporate applications engineer, or sales specialist." and "Jim Kjellsen was my manager at Daisy Systems. At Daisy, we have been through some very exciting start up years as well as some difficult times together. As my manager he has had a big impact on my career and growth – I learnt from him what it means to be a manager of resources as well as projects. He led by example giving me my space to manage, guiding me remotely and supporting me when I needed it. He managed with integrity and fairness, he always gave me clear feedback – I knew what I did well and what I needed to improve. On a technical level Jim was very familiar with the domain knowledge – design entry to functional simulation in those days. His explanations were always very clear and to the point. He got his point across very quickly and I never forgot it. His thinking is very clear and logical and this lends itself well to customer support. Jim was very good at operational aspects of running special teams/task forces as he made things happen. In the last few months at Daisy, we were in a war-room environment developing and testing code along with a whole bunch of field engineers. Jim led the effort. I remember when he presented the project, task and environment to us, he had thought of all aspects of the effort and we had very few glitches in operations as we knew exactly what to do. With Jim you get the complete package – Leader, teacher, problem solver and organizer. Jim has been my mentor in the early part of my career, guiding my growth as a professional as well as out of the office as a friend. I am a better person for having worked for him. I wish him the best."
