Jim Liefer

“Jim has an excellent handle on strategy and is a brilliant out-of-the-box thinker. He was viewed by me and many others as a voice of innovative ideas backed by sound reasoning. However he is not just a ‘visionary-guy’. I personally witnessed Jim back up his ideas by delivering solutions that made them a reality. Any business would do well listening to his vision and guidance. I have the highest regard for Jim’s work and wouldn’t hesitate to would work with him again.”

“Jim is one of the most supportive executives I've ever had the pleasure to work for. Always available to his team for guidance, direction or inspiration, Jim exemplifies what leadership in a large corporation should be.”

“Jim was far and away the best manager I have ever worked for. He is highly strategic and forward thinking yet Jim somehow always manages to find time to support his team through the day to day grind whenever needed as well. Supportive and knowledgeable, Jim stretches himself and his team to be the best they can be and ultimately, deliver results.”

“I worked with Jim for something like 10 years at Fritz Companies and UPS Supply Chain Solutions. We managed different teams in the IT group at the San Francisco HQ. Jim was one of my favorite people at Fritz. He was fun and personable, and he's one of the best managers I've ever met. He has a tremendous ability to build loyal teams, inspire people to work hard, and deliver on commitments. He has a razor sharp intellect but he's very down to earth, too. Great sense of humor and tons of energy. He'd be a tremendous asset to any organization.”

“Jim is a knowledgeable, goal oriented professional that is capable of delivering results that are high quality, within required timelines. An excellent management executive.”

“Jim's strengths as a leader became apparent to me on two fronts when we worked together: his cross functional relationship skills positioned him to form partnerships across the organization, and his depth of logistics knowledge informed revenue-driving decisions in a variety of situations. I'd highly recommend Jim for a leadership and logistics role.”

“I have worked with (and for) Jim a number times over the years, from when he headed up Customer Service for Fritz Companies to when he was VP in charge of web application development for UPS. He possesses the exceedingly valuable combination of technology and business understanding critical to all successful projects, has an incredible eye for talent and ability to build a great organization, and engenders unparalleled loyalty in his employees. Jim is completely results-driven, customer focused, willing and able to deal with minute details, and tireless in execution. He possesses an expert understanding of the supply chain arena, as well as general business acumen that would make him successful in any industry. He has been a great asset to every organization he’s been a part of, and I certainly hope to work with him again someday.”

“I would strongly recommend to anyone who has an opportunity to work for Jim to do so. He is a strong analytical thinker, and an effective team leader. He has an extremely positive attitude, communicates well, and brings out the best in the people around him. His work ethic and integrity are beyond reproach.”

“Jim is an executive with the drive and passion to lead business and people. We worked together on wide ranging strategic initiatives including inventory optimization, 3PL contract negotiations and small parcel network design. In all of these projects, Jim brought his unparallel expertise in technology as well as supply chain and provided an invaluable perspective to define the vision and drive business results. Jim is an awesome leader with uncanny abilities to extract the best out of his associates. He expects attention to detail and yet gives total freedom to come up with creative solutions. It has been a pleasure to work for Jim.”

“I had the privilege of working with Jim at both Fritz and UPS SCS, as well as working with him as a customer while at Walmart.com. Jim is a professional with broad technology experience and knows how to apply to real business needs. He has the ability to articulate complex systems into laymen's terms for executive level meetings. He is a passionate about driving efficiency, reducing costs and improving customer experiences. Jim is a dedicated leader of people with a high standard of integrity. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone. Regards John Fitzgerald”

“Jim, is a Sr. Supply Chain Professional and I have worked with him on a number of supply chain initiatives focused on syncrhonizing supply and demand, and driving waste out of supply chains.”

“I've had the pleasure of working for Jim over the past 5 years in various capacities, thanks to his having provided me the initial opportunity to take on and learn about SC&L when I didn't have a traditional background for this function. Jim strives to do his best consistently and has always solicited and accepted both input and feedback from his team. He genuinely cares about this people and really enjoys developing new ideas and capabilities within his SC&L division. Jim is a very caring and fun person to work with and I look forward to continuing to support his success.”
