Jim Bledsoe

Austin, TX

People talk a lot about networking these days, but Jim takes it a step further...he’s a connector. Given his career as an executive at FedEx and Pulte Homes, he enjoys being able to identify commonalities and putting people and teams together, happiest when he is providing help and value beyond the expected. As partner at Cendea, a retained executive search firm, Jim matches exceptional talent (impact leaders) to dynamic clients. Jim serves on two advisory boards, (consumer electronics firm and a green-build firm) and is a coach and mentor, dedicated to development of young students, leaders and professionals. He also believes strongly in giving back, as evidenced by his deep involvement in charitable organizations like March of Dimes and ALS.
