Chief Relationship Officer
My name is James and I’m the sales guy. I love people! Whether it’s hanging out, grabbing a bite, playing sports, or working with others, being with other people makes me happy. What I enjoy more than anything else is helping others: seeing the smile on someone’s face when an obstacle is removed and the gratitude, when clients we supported, are successful. That experience gets me up and excited to go to work in the morning.
I love my job at Inkbench for two reasons: 1. because clients are happier after they’ve joined and rolled out the platform to their teams; and 2, because, when I hit my quota, I get to go skiing with my ski-buddy – who also happens to be our CEO, George Abraham.
I’m a compulsive entrepreneur. I can’t help myself. If I see a new thing that works, I gravitate towards it. People like working with me for my rampant enthusiasm and optimism. I’m also a tech nerd. I can dive into a tiny detail and get geeky or talk about the future of humanity.
I’ve had three careers–as a musician, an entertainment executive and a tech entrepreneur. My diverse life experience is what I bring to the table. I’ve been around long enough that I can pattern match and figure out how to solve whatever’s holding you back.
A little bit of trivia? I took my family sailing for a year: we left NYC, sailed down the Caribbean, across The Atlantic, all the way to the Aegean Sea. If you know of an adventure, please sign me up.
