James contacted me for a senior IT role position he was recruiting for. What is great with James is that he understands very well the value that IT Business Relationship Manager and Business Partner can bring to an organisation. He can assess the right mix of relationship, programme management, business acumen, strategic thinking and technical knowledge to ensure the candidate is a good fit in terms of competencies, experience, and culture.
