I have known Jim Knight for 30 years - we first met when Jim was enrolled in the MBA Program at Tuck (Dartmouth). When I formed Stay-Focused, Jim was the first person I approached about joining the Board. I was keen to enlist Jim's support because I knew he would offer insightful, strategic thinking to the process of envisioning this start-up nonprofit. I also knew of Jim's tenacious approach to developing new initiatives, his ability to think outside the box, and his hands-on approach to delivering results. I recommend Jim most highly - a uniquely well-qualified and experienced business professional.
