He is proficient in French and Portuguese. Colleagues describe him as "Jim and I both worked at EnerNOC/Enel for years without overlapping directly, but I heard nothing but good things about his. When I finally got a chance to work with Jim on a big process improvement and culture-change project I found his strong reputation preceded him. Jim is a strong leader who treats everyone with respect, sets high expectations, and provides support while holding his team accountable. He is the definition of a servant leader. As luck would have it, just about the time the pandemic started Jim took over as the Head of Operations and asked me to join his leadership team. I was proud to take on this role and get to work with and learn from Jim as a manager and still mentor. While many organizations struggled to maintain employee engagement through the pandemic, with Jim's leadership our team's engagement actually went UP! We maintained a strong culture, saw people advance into new positions internally, and made great progress on challenging goals. Needless to say, Jim is a great manager, and an even better leader. I would be thrilled to work with him again someday." and "I had the privilege of working directly and indirectly under Jim during my four-year tenure at EnerNOC. One of the characteristics of Jim that I admired most and hope to emulate throughout my own career was his remarkable empathy. Jim would take the time to truly understand and connect with each of his reports, and would go to bat for them whenever they required him to do so. Additionally, the meetings he led were always efficient, collaborative, and interspersed with light humor. As a result, he had extraordinarily high ratings on Gallup Employee Engagement Surveys and low employee turnover rates. Jim had an innate ability to anticipate, and thus mitigate, the negative effects of frequent organizational changes that would impact his team. I was grateful for his leadership during such tumultuous times and impressed by his ability to rapidly scale new teams to meet the company’s evolving business needs. No matter the gravity of the situation, Jim repeatedly handled pressure extremely well, making the jobs of all his coworkers less stressful. Jim has been a universally respected leader within the EnerNOC organization and was instrumental in establishing the foundation of my own professional growth and development. I could not have imagined a better manager for my first full-time role out of college and I know he will continue to have a positive impact on any team to which he contributes."
