Our Leadership Team

" If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

Head of US Operations

Jim believes when you solve problems for customers, and work backwards from their needs to design processes and services, simplification follows. And with over 20 years of experience in the Operations field, he leads with his customer-first philosophy to create efficiencies, improve quality, and deliver better results.

Before joining the Allianz Partners team, Jim worked in the financial industry, where he redesigned complex processes to reduce complexity, cycle times and costs—always keeping the customer top of mind. He is currently responsible for the strategic planning and tactical execution of our internal initiatives to continuously improve our working environment and exceed customer expectations. Jim has a Bachelor’s in English from Virginia Commonwealth University.

In his free time, Jim can usually be found in the mountains—fly fishing for trout. He also loves spending time with his wife and two boys.
