ABOUT JAMES KAYES-SMITH
Leading and managing high-performing teams to deliver complex projects with exceptional results for our customers.No matter if I am leading a team, managing direct reports, partnering with stakeholders, architecting a solution, or writing code, I am looking for the right thing for the people I am collaborating with.I have the privilege of wearing a lot of hats while leveraging a variety of technologies to get the job done. This has provided many perspectives to manage teams, deliver projects and solve technical problems. These experiences enable me to build the right solution to achieve the most business value. Build it in a way that is scalable for the team or the customer to deliver together and continue supporting. And ensure individual contributors through coaching and mentorship are getting the most out of the experience to help them reach their potential.And one constant goal I have no matter the hat I am wearing or the role I am filling is to find a way to make the work enjoyable and foster an environment where people can feel both relaxed and highly productive. Whether it is my team or my customer, we always collaborate better together and deliver more when doing the work doesn\'t feel like a job.
