James Chase

Background and contact information at jameschase.com.

A passionate leader who has taken teams from “zero-to-ten” in record time. At one start up, we went from three people to acquisition by Oracle Corporation in 18 months. They wanted our cutting-edge solution and the exceptional technology team that created it.

• Leads development of mobile apps (for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile) and high-availability high-scalability cloud-based web services and SaaS sites.

• Attracts, recruits, mentors and retains lean teams that deliver value to customers quickly and sustainably. Creates a positive, supportive and intellectually rigorous work environment.

• An innovative and energetic leader who is biased toward action, is apolitical and guides others through influence instead of control.

• Extensive experience successfully implementing Agile methodologies (certified ScrumMaster trained by Ken Schwaber, the co-creator of Scrum).

• Energized by challenges; not distracted by ambiguity or risk.
