Jim is a human-first technologist with a reputation for finding signals in the noise, challenging the status quo, and leading people with ethics, compassion, and empathy.

Before becoming a respected Engineering Manager and career coach, Jim spent over a decade as a senior software developer, with long tenures at the advertising agency Campbell-Ewald, and The Motley Fool.

He is currently proudly serving as CTO for Human Intelligence™ Institute.

Jim passionately believes that, as Herb Kelleher said, "the business of business is people." He approaches all his work from a people-centric perspective.

In the past few years, Jim has become increasingly concerned about the corporate shift from empathetic servant leadership to efficiency-obsessed performance culture, which is now being exacerbated by rapid AI adoption. Through his newsletter, and LinkedIn content, Jim is dedicated to bringing awareness to this situation and offering guidance on more human, and humane approaches to work.
