When Jamie started his career in banking 15 years ago, it was all "middle aged, bald and grey haired white guys". (he says since he's bald too he gets to say that) Now, he reports to a woman and loves the collaboration. He has called out bullies in the boardroom and mentored women and POC's making sure their voices are heard as they step into leadership.

As a military veteran, he is also a card carrying member of Bro culture. How does he stand comfortably in two places at once?  Join us for his journey from Navy search and rescue bad-ass to boardroom bad-ass.
