Jim serves as The TEAM Companies’ Chief Lightspeed Product Officer responsible for designing the next generation of client features and advanced technologies for TTC’s Online production management system as well as other technology tools for internal and external client use.

Jim, a New Jersey native, built his significant technology-driven career on the east coast beginning with work at Microsoft consulting firms, pharmaceutical companies, and global telecom companies. In 2001 Jim trekked west to pursue work in television and feature film production.

While working on the set of an Independent film Jim was shocked to witness the extent that film production relied on paper forms, cardboard binders, and phone tag. He envisioned how efficient production could be if all of this paper information was shared on a collaborative website.

However, such a system would require people on set to be able to access it with a pocket sized internet device which did not exist at the time. Jim put his idea on hold and went to work for Sony Pictures.

In June of 2007, the iPhone launched and provided the pocket sized internet device that Jim was seeking. Jim founded Lightspeed eps Inc. in 2008 and, with the help of an immensely skilled and loyal team, built the industry’s first integrated online production management, script breakdown, and electronic timecard system.

In 2015 The Team Companies partnered with Lightspeed to develop a similar production management system for commercials and short form content. The collaboration went so well that in 2016, The TEAM Companies acquired Lightspeed, recognizing it as a leader in providing cutting edge technology tools to the entertainment and content production industries.

Jim’s entrepreneurial spirit, technological expertise, and forward-thinking vision are a great fit with The TEAM Companies’ corporate culture and commitment to excellence and client service.
