James Riess

“It has been a pleasure working with James at two different agencies and points in my career (including as a direct report). James is highly skilled at crafting actionable business and marketing strategies, backed by data and research. James possesses an unrelenting drive to deliver high-quality work that is strategically aligned to client objectives. He’s often the first one in the office and demonstrates his passion for his work on a daily basis. As a leader and mentor, he’s always willing to lend assistance or provide guidance when needed. He always has a vision and develops deep relationships with co-workers and clients alike. It’s fun working with James; while he takes his work very seriously, he also has a sense of humor and is someone people enjoy being around. Anyone would be lucky to work with James. His leadership skills will be an asset to any organization. I would welcome the opportunity to work with James again in the future. ”

“No one achieves higher client satisfactions marks than James. He is continually focused on client issues, understands and owns them as his own, and provides the strategic solutions that assure clients successfully achieve all they need, when they need it. Grace under pressure, aspirational attitude, and willingness to jump into any fray -- a great team member, and client leader.”
